The Knife - Marble House

We'd crank it if it came on the radio

Single Review by DalaiDahmer | 11 Apr 2007
Label: Brille records
Marble house puts you in mind of Kate Bush, if Kate Bush had been born fifteen years later. It's weird enough and pop enough all at once, all the while hanging onto the trademark wistfulness and longing that often seeps out of The Knife's tracks. They know their way around a soundscape, these two. Some of the remixes seem more Knifey than the radio edit to The Skinny's ears, but we'd still crank it if it came on the radio. If the variety of mixes of Marble House is a sign of album material to come we can surely justify getting all excited. The lack of original b-sides on the single is perhaps cause for pause, but it is only a short pause. [DalaiDahmer]
