Seguimos con nuestro top álbumes particular, los que se quedaron cerquita de lograr primeros puestos. Las portadas llevan enlaces a los discos en Spotify , en la medida de lo posible, como en el top 10, para poderle dar una escucha nostálgica. Que muchos podrían estar en el top 10? Es obvio que sí, pero también todos podríamos ser riquísimos, tener tías jamonas dándonos de comer o volar, y no es así, así que estos son los resultados de la evolución, de la suerte o de nuestra voluntad. Joyitas todo. Desde los dos de Hot Chip (que [...]

The Knife Silent Shout (Rabid/Mute, 2006) I came to Silent Shout way after the fact and, on my first listen, I didn't get what all the fuss was about. However, on my second listen I tripped and fell deep into the bizarre electronic rabbit hole excavated by this genius brother/sister duo. Sassigrass and I almost solely listened to this album on a cross-country road trip from SLC to D.C. and back. I don't know what type of Scandinavian bewitching powder these two used on Silent Shout [...]

Swedish brother and sister duo The Knife has just released an epic 11-minute long track from their upcoming album Tomorrow, In A Year . Not due to be released until March 1st, Tomorrow, In A Year is the studio recorded version of an opera that brother Olof and sister Karin created based on Charles Darwin . The opera premiered back in September 2009 at Copenhagen's Royal Danish Theatre to mainly positive reviews. They continue to perform shows all across Europe. The Knife gained legions of fans back in 2006 while going on [...]

Karin Dreijer Andersson have always been making mesmerizing music, whether in the band Honey Is Cool previously, or part of The Knife with her brother. While The Knife is on a hiatus, she decides to go totally solo under the project name Fever Ray , and mesmerizing as an adjective just doesn't cut it anymore. If you were even the slightest bit an electronic fan, Silent Shout by The Knife was pulsating and breathtaking. Now in our opinion, [...]

• Fever Ray - If I Had a Heart

One of my favorite shows all-time was The Knife at Webster Hall during CMJ 2006. I couldn't stop listening to their latest release, Silent Shout , and this would be their first ever US show (and only their 12th anywhere). The heavy electro and groundbreaking visuals were mind-blowing. The brother-sister duo from Sweden hasn't returned to the US since and all had been quiet from their camp...until the female half, Karin Dreijar Andersson, emerged with a solo-project called Fever Ray . [...]

• Fever Ray - When I Grow Up (Version by Lissvik)

We've been a little behind on getting something up about the excellent self-titled debut from Fever Ray coming out March 24th via Mute but trust us, it was worth the wait. For the folks that aren't familiar with Fever Ray yet, she/they are Karin Dreijer Andersson, one half of the Swedish duo The Knife . For those not familiar with the Knife (first off, come on people ) BUT, their first two albums did well in their Swedish homeland; their third, Silent Shout, went to Number One, won six Swedish Grammys, and was pronounced [...]

"more, gimme more, gimme more" NEW TO US: Fever Ray - If I Had A Heart words: Jamie Milton It's still only two and a bit years since we first heard 'Silent Shout' and fell head-over-heels in love with its ghostly, sub-human charms but due to their lack of contact with the media, matched with the sparing amount of live performances to treat us to, it seems like almost a decade since we last heard from the Knife. Thankfully, 'Silent Shout' still stands head and shoulders [...]
