Video Killed The Radio Star

(Stream: Real/Win)
The Knife are this year's Therese. They are becoming well-known in the UK without anyone actually knowing who they are. Mention the Sony Bravia advert, which features their fellow Swede José Gonzales' cover of their song, Heartbeats, and everyone will be enthusing about how much they love the advert (it is gorgeous) and probably the song too, which is a really lovely acoustic version. But mention The Knife and you'll probably get a blank look, or be pointed in the direction of the kitchen drawers. However, one member of the Knife is having some success in the UK with the new Royksopp single, on which Karin (the sister of this sibling duo) provides some fabulous vocals. The version which soundtracks the video is ace enough, but listen out for the Thin White Duke remix of the song, which sounds like Kate Bush if she were to work with Daft Punk ie. utterly fantastic! Hopefully it'll do well enough for The Knife to get to release some more of their own singles, although a re-release of Heartbeats may be a little redundant if José gets in first.
