Top 10 Songs of 2006: No. 7

7. The Knife – We Share Our Mother’s Health

This song is the closest thing to dance music on this list. In a year when most of the electronic music I heard was just getting a bit stale and safe, it’s great to hear that there are still no other bands writing songs like The Knife. It was hard to select just one song off the album, but this one just stands out with its synthesized Latin rhythms and the way the male vocals just sound. Rather than just being happy with a regular 4/4 rhythm and melodies that match, The Knife really use their resources to their advantage, and the vocals in this song are a fine example of that.
