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.

LYKKE LI: Breaking It Up

Swedish indie darling Lykke Li is here to break it up. This poptastic single straddles the indie pop credibility with production nods to Peter Bjorn and John's Björn Yttling and a booty shaking beat worthy of electro kid gyrations. The video is a smokey collection of Factory-esque ennui, moopy dancing and Warholing on-screen preening. From her excellent debut album, Youth Novels. Watch the music video (qt).

THE KNIFE: Na Na Na

It is entirely unclear whether this is an official The Knife video or not, as it is a rather non-single track and lacks some of the grotesque imagery so familiar to official The Knife videos. That being said, it is not usual suspect director Andreas Nilsson, who's twisted vision was last seen here on Moby's Alice video. It's a quick little ambient track in neutral tones, like a little shot of Swedish weirdness. Directed by David Vegezzi. Watch the music video (qt).
