Hmm...their music is so damn pensive, that's probably why it's so addictive, we like things and feelings that makes us think. At first I imagine puzzle pieces falling in to place or a sand castle being carefully built then someone comes by to f*ck ur shit up, but then laughter is shared instead of anger. Heh, interpretation is fun.
it reminds me of myself. the title makes me concious abnout how i use some friends because of my problems. i cant deal with money properly and i always need to borrow stuff, while i dont do really much in return. i dont see myself as a bad friend, but i still want to make things up for them who help me
Karin Dreijer and her brother Olof Dreijer. They change Karin's voice to sound like a man's to strengthen the messages and statements they want to give with their music.
@Ud0nTgNoMiE said "closed minds should come with closed mouths...." ... which in and of itself is a closed minded statement, creating some infinite loop black hole... HELP, IT'S SUCKING ME IN !!
the knife are interested in sexual anonymity, they've said it in interviews; it's clear in the voice disguises as well. i guess because even an exposure of gender can have an adverse effect on your art (look at sexy pop stars for example), if, like the knife might be, you want to create something devoid of sex but "full of art", rather than full of sex whilst being devoid of art like Shakira, Justin Timberlake... etc etc etc...
It's an interesting concept but most people have a gender there's nothing wrong with working with it rather than against it. Nothing wrong with hiding it either ;)
Karen has always said that she doesn't want to be seen as a pretty front-woman (she actually is really hot) but rather as an artistic equal to other musicians.
@Vampiregirl212 all overseas bands are not awesome, what the fuck kind of thing is that to say? Personally I think the knife rule, but to equate a preference of taste to where something is not from, is wrong.
@LerakKcirtapEimaj Harden up princess, commenting on something written over 2 years ago? Jesus, fuck off and find something more to do with your day. Cheers
@Vampiregirl212 So, because the comment wasn't "fresh", it's any less viable? You'll find many people wont have seen this two years ago, crazy, right?!?! Also, to reply to a reply which apparently wasn't a worthy investment of time anyway, you must have VERY little to do. Harden up princess? Immasculation doesn't work with ambiguous handles, and it certainly doesn't do anything for your credibility. You said something stupid that I thought needed amending, being still visible. Deal with it.
Is that Julian Assange on the right? XD
