That is their name. They have toured with Moby. They are Torbjörn Brundtland and Svein Berge. I don’t know where their names come from, but they are based in the UK.
This is another one i discovered by watching Law & Order, though i don’t actually remember which show i was watching when i heard the song “What Else Is There?” featuring Karen Dreijer on vocals, (who is from Sweden and apparently sings in 2 bands, The Knife and Honey Is Cool.)
Paul’s phone has this awesome feature that identifies songs. Any time you hear a song that you don’t know, his phone can listen to it and then tell you the name of the song! It has come in handy in many situations!!! It doesn’t work 100% of the time because sometimes the song is too obscure to be in the database, but it worked this time.
This song immediately caught my attention not only because of its stunning sound, but also because for a brief moment i actually thought it was Bjork singing! Once i discovered what it was, i went to their MySpace page and got lost there for hours, mostly watching the video of this song over and over again! I don’t know who the woman is who’s singing, but she’s not one of the 2 band members. Everyone should see this video and hear this song! It should be required in school, in fact! I love it! I don’t really know just how to put it in words. Maybe everyone won’t like it, though i can’t imagine why. Watch this video and then tell me what you think, whether or not you like it. I’m very curious to know how other people perceive it. Thanks!

You should check out some of the Knife’s videos–just as odd. Start with Pass This On and go from there.
