I’ve known for some time already that Karin Dreijer Andersson from The Knife would do a solo album, but it catched me just now by looking at the last.fm hyped artists chart that the first single is out already. Karin is now Fever Ray showing that she is the mystical/surreal half of The Knife. Of course, the video is exceptional as well.

Well, not quite The Knife themselves, but the animator behind their superb video, Motomichi Nakamura has produced an animation for the up and coming band Temposhark’s single “Blame“. Above you can see Nakamura’s Chaz & Daz Vinyl Toys and he limits his colours to white, black and red just like The White Stripes.
The sound kind of reminds me of a slightly better yet just an average MTV pop/rock band and I’m mostly posting this for the video (I hope there’s more about them for Nakamura seems to have excellent taste). But Temposhark come from Brighton/London and have just released their debut album “The Invisible Line” which drops names like Guy Sigsworth, Imogen Heap and Martin Glover aka Youth.
