You Take My Breath Away

Come early 2005, absolutely everyone is pinning their colours to the next-big-thing mast, and the smart money is on brother and sister Karin and Olof Dreiger, a duo who are already Grammy-winning types in their native Sweden. They may be a little late for the electro-clash revival, but their unorthodox synth sounds, spiked with reggae, Euro-pop and Japanese punk are little short of astounding. As far as cool siblings go, this mouthwatering stew of sounds makes The Knife much cooler than Jack & Meg – and I’ll bet they won’t need a husband/wife rumour to make things happen.
