I'm not actually into neither
Röyksopp or
The Knife or
Fever Ray, but this collaboration between
Röyksopp and Karin Dreijer of
The Knife (or
Fever Ray - Drejer's solo project) fame has some strong atmosphere going for it. I used to listen to this song practically every day when I traveled home from where I was studying. Quite a sad and lonely chapter of my life, so there's sort of a weird bond I have with this song. Like I remember it as a companion during times where I didn't really know what the hell I was doing with my life.
But that's very subjective. The important thing to relay is really how beautifully the gorgeous vocals and the quite laid back and simple backing track works together. This song amply achieves its goal of being a moody, driving slow jam.
