There was a time when the UK was in the vanguard of musical innovation and risk taking. No more. While bands like the Knife and KDA's own foray into weirdness, Fever Ray set the bench mark, (together with South Korea's Itta if given half a chance!), British music falls fowl of the X Factor and Oasis wannabe's.

wwwwwwaaaaaayyyyyy too much flashing. I wish the video wasn't over edited so that I could see them perform without having a seizure. Great song though
i don't think it's prerecorded, i think the video is just cut up from a lot of different parts of a recorded live performance, synced to the live audio of the song...watch how many times the angle / view changes
@gzussturbo speaking of... the knife is, maybe, the best music for fucking!! sometimes slow, sometimes fast and strong beat... you can fuck to the music!!
Does we all share our Mother's Health?! Red wine and fruits for free. Tree's there will be... apples fruits maybe.... Looking better shining brighter when you do... =)
Is the crazy editing supposed to hide the fact that Karin can't dance? Just kiddin'... ;) Great music, though. It's kinda a pitty that it sounds just like the album version, I would love to hear the crazy things they could do with this awesome song.
@huppy55 I do the same thing when I'm performing to help keep the beat when I'm not playing the keyboard. Might be a bad habit, but I love how it looks here.
this song is my favorite since it's the one tha got me hooked on them int he first place. It also has a lot of meaning. deep. :) thx for putting this up.
it pretty much deals with the planet or 'mother' earth. think of it as how people take it for granted and use up all the resources more than they should and then re-watch it.
I don't think he's doing the drums at all. It has to be recorded, cause i don't think he can control all those sounds at once. If you watch the entire thing, his striking is going along with the blink sounds... or whatever you call it lol.. watch it over again and listen to the sounds as he strikes :)
@alexidane it is a delay due to the video on You tube and it is possibly a synthesizer doing all of the sound.... I am sure... it is all preprogrammed into the computer of the synthesizer
I would give my left arm to see this live

@37sktrCZ it's also possible he's using a laser trigger system. where every time he breaks the laser light it plays the sound.
I have absolutely no idea if he is doing that or not but it is possible

@37sktrCZ he is creating the high pitched notes, the vision is in time with the sound. It sounds so freakin awesome as well.
