More The Knife

The Knife’s ‘Heartbeats’ is a certified electro classic, no argument. The 2003 anthem (criminally covered by Jose Gonzalez) is sheer electronic pop genius and one of The Knife’s most accessible and endearing moments. This live version, recorded in their native Sweden, perfectly embodies why we love Karin and Olaf Dreijer so much. Stripped of its popiness and reworked into a brooding minimal number, it’s almost transformed into a Silent Shout track and exhibit’s the Dreijer’s musical radiance and willingness to dissect their own tunes. Better still, it’s a stunning, spine-tingling piece of music - even if this version does sound a bit like Berlin’s ‘Take My Breath Away’ at times.

Released 25/06/07 on Brille Records

@Gigwise Hmm, there might be some technical reason they're doing them in a particular order. Christ knows.

@Gigwise It's because the only way they could get Dave Rowntree to play the drums was to hypnotise him. Too strenuous otherwise, poor chap.
