The Knife

Brother and sister, Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer make up this two piece band under their own label. Karin has an eerie voice that is accompanied by the beats formed on a synthesizer. They wear creepy costumes; their most popular includes a black suit of sorts with masks that have long beaks, characteristic of those worn in the 1500s to protect one from the plague-very functional. This Swedish made band’s sound can only be described as haunting. It is defiantly not something to fall asleep to, unless you like nightmares.

Robyn

Robyn is a Swedish singer-songwriter; she is rising to fame here in the United States, but is still on her own private label. She has cute catchy lyrics dealing mostly with unreciprocated love. She has also put out tracks about how awesome she is, one such being “Konichiwa Bitches”; it is all warranted, because she is good at what she does- which is perform. She is absolutely amazing in concert, she flails around the stage with wild body movements- this could be her way of dancing. Whatever it is, it drives the crowd crazy. Her newest album “Robyn” has high energy with an electronica feel.
