The Knife Without You

A typically bizarre clip from Swedish weirdster Fever Ray and her brother. From their coming EP Shaken Up Versions, which will be remixes from their catalog.

Culled from my Spotify favorites playlist, here's my annual roundup of the tracks that got the most play this year at Casa JMG. Some of them appeared here during the year, some did not.

1. John Grant - Pale Green Ghosts
(Openly gay, openly HIV+, very Dead Can Dance.)
2. Boy George - King Of Everything
(One of his loveliest ballads ever.)
3. The Knife - Full Of Fire
("Liberals giving me the nerve itch.")
4. David Bowie - Love Is Lost
(Hello Steve Riech Mix by James Murphy.)
5.  Nine Inch Nails - Copy Of A
(And the title track from Came Back Haunted.)
6. Brandon Maclean - Stupid
(Plus the Stereogamous remix on Spotify!)
7. Holy Ghost! - Dumb Disco Ideas
(Delicious nu-disco out of Brooklyn.)
8. Young Galaxy - Pretty Boy
(The Peaking Lights remix is very New Order-y.)
9. BT - Skylarking
(Glorious trance that evokes the mid-90s.)
10.  Lindstrøm - Lanzarote
(Instrumental retro Italo featuring Todd Terje.)

The Knife - A Tooth For An Eye

Another interesting clip from Swedish pop weirdster Fever Ray and her brother.

The Knife - Full Of Fire

If you enjoy the bizarre Swedish performer Fever Ray, you might like her latest collaboration with her brother.  There's a story somewhere in this weird clip, right?  (Maybe not.)  Several years ago The Knife swept the Swedish version of the Grammys, including the Best Pop Group category.  I quite like this.
