The Knife — Silent Shout

in
By Kevin Ritchie (CHARTattack) August 1, 2006 2:22 pm
Swedish siblings Olof Dreijer and Karin Dreijer Andersson, a.k.a. The Knife, bring a sharp pop sensibility to a genre of music sorely in need of good old-fashioned emotion. Their biggest hit, the romantic dancefloor ballad "Heartbeats," has lived on through Jose Gonzales' equally good stripped-down acoustic cover. But from the first few...

Fever Ray — "Seven"

in
By CHARTattack Staff November 23, 2009 2:00 pm
It's getting so saying "here's another weird, creepy video from Fever Ray, otherwise known as The Knife's Karin Dreijer Andersson" is redundant. This one features an old woman singing to "Seven" while farm animals flock around her and some weird wookie dude shakes something behind her. "Seven" is on Fever Ray,...

Fever Ray — "Stranger Than Kindness"

Here's yet another creeptastic video from Fever Ray. I said the video for "Triangle Walks" was going to give me nightmares, but the clip for "Stranger Than Kindness" is considerably more frightening and is literally making my skin crawl as I type this. Just watch it... I can't even describe it properly. "Stranger...

Royksopp's video for Junior's "This Must Be It" features a group drumming session in the great outdoors. It vaguely resembles Burning Man, since its participants are wearing very few items of clothing... but they probably still smell better.

Fever Ray — "Triangle Walks"

in
By CHARTattack Staff June 18, 2009 3:03 pm
The Mikel Cee Karlsson-directed video for Fever Ray's "Triangle Walks" is unsurprisingly creepy. The woman better known as The Knife singer Karin Dreijer Andersson, whose face is not really visible, stands in shadows in a dark room while flashing lights surround her. The room later lights up, and smoke unfurls while the lights get a...

This is the first solo album from the lady in The Knife. Suffice to say, it sounds sufficiently creepy enough to give us all nightmares tonight. But what does it say that track #2 sounds like Tegan And Sara?!
