The Knife - We Share Our Mother’s Health

I don’t think this can be considered an oldie, coming from a 2006 album, brought to you by Swedish electronica duo, The Knife. The accompany video is bizarre and haunting in its simplistic but abstract representation of men, medicine, monsters, and BDSM. This track provides an unique landscape of synthesized pops, whistles, melodies and voices that accumulate into a wall of sound.

I’ve been told the way people are depicted in this video intentional reference to a real condition... just in case you needed more nightmare fuel.

The Knife - Rock Classics

Nordic electronic nouveau artists, The Knife, lay down a brilliant and bizarre track from their 2003 album Deep Cuts. I've always appreciated The Knife's use of dirt-simple electronic samples - which sound like they've come from the seventies or eighties.

This rythmic diddy really brings down-tempo to a new level. At times the song is thrown into a spin by the atonal vocals, it's then you're glad to have the hard-railed beat to hold onto.
