FEVER RAY: If I Had A Heart

If you were waiting for a new The Knife record, you will be pleased with the debut of Fever Ray. Karin Dreijer Andersson, half of the brother-sister duo, has released a solo outing under the Fever Ray guise, and stakes out off-shoot territory: slightly less electro, but equally moody and sinister. The production style is signature in darkness, but with tinges of more organic motifs and ambient construction. The video is directed by long time collaborate and fellow Swede, Andreas Nilsson.

MOBY: Alice

Moby's career as a back studio act or deejay booth spinner is a progression of the bald headed punk techno assembler emerging into the forefront like a pallid creature from a crypt. As evident in his other works, Moby's vocals are somewhat weak and, well, dorky to say the least. But his musical impact is often most memorable when his guests provide the lyrical lead. The new record is called Last Night and is said to feature more dance oriented sounds with a pile of vocal collaborators including "the original 70's mc grandmaster caz one of the writers of rappers delight, sylvia from kudu, the uk's mc aynzli and the nigerian 419 squad." This first video is directed by Swedish nutter, Andreas Nilssson, best know for his inspired and eccentric pieces for The Knife. Watch the music video (qt).
