o0o0o0oh, the knife. i'm a huge fan of this album. not only did it get me through driving school, but it's so different and awesome i want to adopt it. the knife are a swedish duo formed in 1999. apparently they are siblings, too, haha. the band although being started late ninties, only seemed to gain recognition mid 00's (?) as they had never even played live until 2006. This album is their latest, and also their greatest (haha). the effects on the vocals are awesome, and the knife just have this sound to them that is recognizible. this album even got pitchforks "album of the year" in 2006. theres only one or two songs on the album that i dislike, which, is rare for me. the album is composed of odd sounds not typically found, which i love. "like a pen" is composed of water drop-like sounds, for example. the combination of the male and female duo, neat voices, cool sounds, and even cooler voice effects, this album is a stroke of genious, and a must have in one's itunes library. you'd be a fool not to get this one, fool!

alright so my fucking computer crashed again. the other one this time. just when i get my itunes in order, the BIOS or something messed up. fuck you technology! but anyways. i stumbled across this album..i don't really know how. just usual paroosing on the internet and such. i initially liked the cover. i'm a sucker for bold plain font. however, upon first listen, i liked it quite a bit. it's kind of like a catchy sleeping states, if they were to play faster and with distortion and solos. i really ended up loving the first song, which i'm currently listening to again. the thing with me, is, that i get bored of albums fast, and this album is a victim of my ever growing music thirst. it didn't quite have anything distinctive, or enough so that i would listen to it for more than a week or two. however, i find the music well coordinated, with little piano bits hidden and soothing organ-ish sounds to top off the songs. however, as i said, it didn't really keep my intrest all that much. worth a download: yes! worth the last little space on your ipod: maybe..
