Zeigeist "Tar Heart" - The really obvious thing about Zeigeist that really cannot be left unsaid is that they sound a LOT like The Knife. "Tar Heart" sounds so much like The Knife that if it was sold to me as a new single from that group, I would not think twice about it. Of course, aside from a few songs, they aren't quite as good -- Princess can replicate the timbre of Karin's voice, but does not match her ability to convey complicated emotions with subtle vocal inflections, or her her willingness to distort her voice [...]

Zeigeist - Humanitarianism Humanitarianism is the first track from the new great album of Swedish group Zeigeist . It's called The Jade Motel (2008) and it's in stores now ! And many thanks to Guilty As Pleasure for this one: Grovesnor - Drive Your Car An excellent pop song by Grovesnor !

Oh look, I'm not dead! Well, not completely, anyway. Constantines - "Hard Feelings" This already sounds like a classic to me. The singer's voice strongly reminds me of...someone. I can't pin it down, which has been bugging for well over a week now but maybe you guys can help me figure it out. Anyway, great rock song. This is the lead single off their album "Kensington Heights" which is being released on Arts&Crafts. [...]
One of my favorite electro-pop bands Zeigeist from Stockholm, Sweden are finally set to release their Debut Album 'The Jade Motel' April the 30th! Pretty excited, been digging them for awhile. Even picked their single Black Milk which is also on the album as one of my favorite singles of 2007. Fans of bands like The Knife who they are constantly compared to (her voice's resemblance is uncanny!) will love Zeigeist. They are a great mixture of bands like early Fischerspooner's live theatrics and [...]
Zeigeist will never be able to shake comparisons to The Knife , but they did kinda do it themselves by cleverly tacking the song "Tar heart" on early leaks of "Silent shout" . And now, with the release of their debut full-length "The Jade Motel" , they have a chance to really make a name for themselves and I think they've done an admiral job. Lead single "Bunny" is bouncy electro track, with a slight dark vibe that's far more Depeche Mode than The Knife , though of course [...]
Zeigeist Zeigeist - short live cut at the Pop Dakar festival Références musicales : The Knife Zeigeist - Humanitarianism (mp3) [ download ] I first mentionned Zeigeist nearly two years ago and was very impressed. They used to be "the band which made this song that everybody thought was a leak from the new The Knife album". Now [...]

This year more than previous years I have been listening to individual songs more than whole albums. Don't get me wrong there have been some great albums released this year that I like and listen to ( Interpol, Midnight Juggernauts, Arctic Monkeys, Blonde Redhead, The National, The Shins , etc...) Check out some of Chris' great choices too, but due to my process of finding new music nowadays (other music Blogs like Off the Radar), once or twice a month I compile all the best new tracks I find and put them into mix CD's which I then use to [...]

Two delicious tracks. Funkstorung 's Michael Fakesch = Electronic pop beauty with enough clicks to keep the die hard Funkstorunger happy. Expect a full length album form Fakesch very soon, out on K7 Michael Fakesch - Complicated Gothenburg's pop electro artisans [...]
Zeigeist Sweden, one part of the recent holy trinity of music (with France and laptops) has given birth to yet another gem with Zeigeist. In case you happened to get the leaked version of Silent Shout by The Knife last year, you might have noticed an extra track at the end named "F As In Knife". The song is actually named "Tar Heart" and sounding like The Knife's twin, your humble corespondent didn't even blink. Cut to a month or so later only to [...]
Hög Luft - Familjen Jeg er meget fascineret af sådan nogle stop-motion/doodle-videoer for tiden, de er vildt inspirerende. Videoen her, er instrueret af en mand, som kalder sig Ljudbilden & Piloten, og hvis lækre portfolio kan studeres nærmere her . Den er lavet for den svenske musiker Familjen , og sangen alene er ikke mindst genial. Download .. Tar Heart - Zeigeist [...]
We think we are obssessed with Scandinavia. Is it the new Canada? Who can say at this early juncture of 2OO7, but all we know is that The Knife, Zeigeist, Sally Shapiro, Skatebard and Moomins hail...
