The Knife - We Share Our Mother's Health

Spring boarding off of yesterday's solo work done by Fever Ray, the older brother-sister electric duo released several albums under the band name the Knife. Their 2006 album Silent Shout contains some of their finest work including the posted video "We Share Our Mother's Health". The aptly animated and creepy music video is a product of the artist Motomichi Nakamura. Although the storyline revolves around a girl waking from a deep sleep and attempting to find a sacred apple, the S&M undertones and overall uneasiness dominate the production. Oddly, it reminds me a bit of the Presets music video for "The Girl and the Sea" where the animation enhances the overall tone of the song. Enjoy!

Fever Ray - When I Grow Up

Fever Ray is the solo work of Karin Elisabeth Dreijer Andersson from the brother-sister duo the Knife. The Swedish performer's 2009 album pushed the electronic-ambient indie movement a little further, bringing in haunting and at times almost primordial sounds. The album is excellent. "When I Grow Up" is posted above and "If I had a Heart" is posted below.
