Haunting Yet Mesmerizing

The Knife's Karin Dreijer has been branching out with her solo project Fever Ray. Dreijer directed the music video for her first track, 'If I Had A Heart', but left it to master Martin de Thurah to take on her song 'When I Grow Up'. Both videos are haunting yet mesmerizing and beautiful. The music takes some time to grow on you, but trust me, it will.

Remix 2

After recently escaping from the dark abyss, I've decided to brush the decaying moths off of my computer and return to fork/knife. And so now for the second weekly REMIX POST! This is a great one. Chances are, you may have heard of Jose Gonzalez, the talented singer/songwriter from Sweden. His string-plucking skills are extraordinary; he is truly a master of the nylon. Although he's had more recent release, his 2005 album Veneer, features a fantastic remix of a song called "Heartbeats" which is originally by electronic superstars, The Knife. These two versions really demonstrate the power of the remix at its best. They are total opposites. I'm sure one of the two will strike your fancy.
