I’ll be the first to admit that I gave Planningtorock the shaft when writing about her contributions to the killer post-modern opera (#4 album of 2010, in fact) that The Knife put together last year. Well no more: with “Doorway,” my attention is all hers. What you have in that track is 3 1/2 minutes of a monotonic pulsating bass lines, violin plucking, and pitch-shifted vocals that make it extrememly obvious why The Knife chose to work with her for Tomorrow, In a Year. A combination a creepy and interesting makes for a truly captivating listen. The album W drops on May 16th via DFA Records.
