Beautiful video for the solo project of The Knife frontwoman.
In other news, I’ve had enough of my hosting company Dreamhost and will be moving to Blacknight imminently.

In other news, The Knife are God.
As in the way Brandon Flowers is Human or Dancer?
I just set up on Blacknight, they’re pretty good. Pretty basic file manager interface though, Customer care is excellent.
Wow, spooky video! Lots of drone going on there too…really interesting. The Knife never disappoint! Linked this on my blog if that’s ok Niall!
really lovely use of lighting (or lack thereof) in that. always been a bit of a sucker for the prince of darkness aka gordon willis meself.
“As in the way Brandon Flowers is Human or Dancer?”
I’m familiar with that “song”, but that was way over my head!
Bren – hear good things bout them. I use FTP anyway so file management is not an issue.
Aoife – Of course, no blessing required!
Ape – Just in the way a collective group of people is a singular entity like your THe Knife are God comment!
Aoife, who do you write for if you don’t mind me being nosey?
Duh, sorry I just read your blog. If you ever want to write for State.ie give shout.
I’ll add you to the blogroll too.
Hey Niall, I work full-time for the ultra-glamorous (ahem) Kildare Nationalist (essentially a news journo), and do music interviews/reviews for the Event Guide (the free one in Dublin), and occasionally Thumped.com too.
Whoops just read your last comment 🙂 Cheers dude, thanks a million!
Just added you to the blogroll too!
awesome video and awesome choon. it’s a creepy slow burner. there’s a real Massive Attack Mezzanine air of dread and simmering menace about it.
Ah yes, now I understand.
Love the super-informal interview process by the way!
