The actual singer is the weirdo in the ruff collar partway thru the video, good old Karin from The Knife & Fever Ray. Shame the newest Knife Album is effing horrible, she is capable of being pretty damn cool. I don't know if Royskopp normally has a singer, but she isn't it. Also don't know who the main lady in the video is.

Royksopp usually has a dude singer (or many dudes, I'm not sure). I think they asked Karin to help out for "What Else Is There" - it's their only song (that I've listened to, so grain of salt) with Karin's vocals. The floaty lady is a random actress/model with a knack for lip syncing. Wot wot!
EDIT: I googled it, and Karin comes back in later albums! Meh, I've only listened to Melody A.M.

I've only heard the first album (2001), which I think is called The Knife, and I like to play it on youtube when I'm at work doing plankton transfers because it takes me to a magical place where people sing with a Swedish accent, and everything is very colorful. For real! Actually, Royksopp is another plankton transfer group I listen to. So it all goes full circle.

Deep Cuts and Silent Shout have some amazing songs, though both have some oddball tracks you'll need to skip. But srsly, you needs the hot traxx from those. Several of them. Also Fever Ray if it isn't too ghostly for you.

DKender- Yes, especially his title album. The best song to start with is 'Pretty when you cry' and the video clip is le awesome.

The whole acoustic cover of hip-hop/R&B thing is VERY hip right now. Mike Doughty was doing it before it was cool. Oh, that's come back into vogue? Alt rock guys were doing that a lot around the time this came out: NSFW for nasty Dr. Dre rhymesClassic Folds self-deprecating humor.

Yeah, those kinda covers make you realise how nasty the lyrics are. I really love this one at the moment (Which I totally shared earlier whoops ): Speaking of covers, I really love this one. I really love that he makes it sound like THIS is the original.
