The Knife

Behold the Knife's Silent Shout! This thing is tweaked, like post-apocalyptic techno a la Cirque Du Soleil, with synths so icy they'll freeze your warts off, thick, compressed thwumps that stomp willy-nilly 'round the room like a spoiled child and weird female vocals that sound like Bjork if she was hired to work the haunted house in 2057. Look at the band's promo photo for Pete's sake. This Swedish guy/girl duo is like the audio X-Men, all freaky and mutated but wicked-powerful. Make sure to check out the last tune, "Still Light."
