i love the slight europop dubiousness of The Knife. First heard them in Stockholm in 2003, played by a friend in a 'this is amazing,listen to this!' way, and was at first very hmm, this has a distinct whiff of Ace of Base...so she did me a tape of 'deep cuts' (and what an awful title!) and I ended up falling for it in a big big way, partly cos of their sheer wrongness...nothing hip about The Knife.
love what I've heard of the new one, viz this thread-http://dissensus.com/showthread.php?t=3495
