Marble House (song)

"Marble House" is a song by Swedish electronic music duo The Knife from their third studio album, Silent Shout (2006). It features contributing vocals from fellow Swedish singer Jay-Jay Johanson.

Reception
CMJ New Music Monthly called the song a "real gem" with "playfully flirtatious lyrics", while the Guardian called it the "most commercial song" on the album, and described it as a "synth-pop Kurt Weill duet".

Music video
Two music videos have been made for this song, both of which can be found on the deluxe edition of Silent Shout. The first version, directed by Björn Renner, depicts an early 20th-century or late 19th-century family. The second video depicts a day in the lives of a family of mice, who have built a fairly comfortable house behind a wall in a human house. It uses stop-motion animation and was directed by Chris Hopewell.
