Back to: K


The Knife are a Swedish electronic music duo from Stockholm, formed in 1999. The group consists of siblings Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer, who together also run their own record company, Rabid Records.

Formed in 1999, amidst the deterioration of Karin's former group Honey Is Cool, the group gained stronger international recognition when José González covered their song "Heartbeats" on his 2003 album, Veneer. The cover was used by Sony in a commercial for BRAVIA television sets, and released as a single in 2006.

Quotes:
When asked about wearing masks during concerts:
"With our music, we go into characters to tell our stories. It's a natural way of continuing that idea. The music has less to do about us. You should focus on the music and not us."
-Olof Dreijer
