This blog is, as you can see, going to be pretty eclectic. I often hear something amazing which is not new, but new to me, so not everything here will be recent. However, I'll try to throw up NEW new things as much as I can. Let's see what we got 'ere then, eh?
The Knife blew me away in 2003 with their awesome Deep Cuts album and then again in 2006 with Silent Shout, after which the brother and sister duo took some time out to do solo work and to collaborate with some others on an opera. April sees the release of their 4th album "Shaking The Habitual" and "Full Of Fire" is the first release from it. It's a lighter sound for them, the synths aren't as heavy or deep sounding as some of their other songs but it still has a tense air about it, with fast jabs which start to vary in pitch over a fast, distorted drum beat. I think it's the tense energy that allows it to be a nine minute song that doesn't change too much yet manages not to get boring. Keep your eyes peeled for their next single "A Tooth For An Eye" coming on the 19th!
Soundtrack to: Running in the dark
