Music | Perfect for a rainy day

Theknife

It's cold and rainy today in NYC. Perfect for some mood music by The Knife. They're a great band that was very pop-friendly; DJ A-Trak even remixed their 2004 song Heartbeats with Kanye West's Get'em High .

The elusive Swedish duo recently dropped a new album that I wasn't expecting at all. The entire album is an electro-opera "based on Charles Darwin's 'The Origin of Species'". Yeah, very abstract. The Colouring of Pigeons is the one song on the album that reminds me of their previous work the most. It's slow, haunting, orchestral, and it's getting me through today. Press play, sit back, and let it ride.
