When a Swedish electronic group puts out a record with song titles such as High School Poem and Vegetarian Restaurant, you can bet they'll either be horrible or next week's soundtrack. The Knife will be my soundtrack.
As is the usual case here, thanks to better music blogs (gorillavsbear/saidthegramophone) than this floundering mess I've got one of the best free mp3s I found in a while. This Swedish group is making electronic that music touches a nerve a lot of other groups don't know exists. Imagine Xiu Xiu collaberating with Styrofoam to write songs people could dance to, then throw in some soft trance sounds and lulling swedish voice and that's The Knife.
Give Heartbeats a listen and see what I mean. A link to the Jose Gonzalez cover of the track is here.
Then head over to the Rabid Records site and check out a bunch of samples from other albums including the already sold out Silent Shout record.
