To be fair he’s actually saying that he’s happy that they DID another album and he’s happy with his own contributions. When Pål says that he was “all on board with the idea” I honestly don’t think he’s talking about the True North concept, but the idea of doing an album like this.
That is even more, than we can expect, i think!
As long as he likes the idea of doing a new album, a-ha is alive.
