Heartbeats

by The Knife

Heartbeats cover art

Propelled by a distinctive, bouncing synthesizer sequence that balances cold, mechanical electronics with deeply romantic, bittersweet lyricism. The track fundamentally shaped the sound of 2000s indie-pop and Scandinavian electronic music. It gained further international recognition after being covered acoustically by José González for a prominent commercial campaign.
