the knife

we here at MFD have a general policy to love all things swedish, but we really, really love all things swedish and musical. that being said, we have recently come across yet another fantastic, viking export...the knife.

the knife is a Swedish duo (karin and olaf, apparently brother and sister) who refuse to play live and "deride rock n roll for being outdated."

a statement from the band:
"we want to react against the organic, improvised expression. we wanna do a more synthetic, weird and non-organic expression. within the artificial expression new moods and spheres arise. electronic music is absolutely the music of the future. machine music is good."

look for the knife to appear on the mfd holiday compilation (released early december), but until then you can get your fill by watching the video for "Heartbeats" here.

if you, like me, can't get enough swedish music, listen to josé gonzales and his accoustic version of the knife single. enjoy.
