THE KNIFE DEEP CUTS (RABID)
"Continuing the glorious, dance-led, electro pop legacy laid down by Richard X and taken on deliciously by Annie, The Loose Cannons and Freeform Five, The Knife are a scarily-haired brother/sister duo from Stockholm. Their dirty synth-and-sequencers sound, cute without being (too) camp, is about 'weird and non-organic expression'. The opening track, Heartbeats--like Siouxsie Sioux singing over a Harold Faltermeyer track produced by Brian Rawling--is possibly the best four minutes of non-organic expression I've heard in years."
James Merritt, D J, Kiss 100
ROGUE ALBUM SAMPLER, INSTANT GRATIFICATION (SKEWEDVIEW)
"Arabic hooks, horny vocals and irresistible melodies; is how the band describe their unique sound, but I'd have to throw in at least one reference to smoky, late-night bars, a cliched comparison to Joss Stone, and still leave room somewhere in the review for the word 'funky'.
This is real music, with real thought--a must-listen.
