"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.
CMJ New Music Monthly called the song a "real gem" with "playfully flirtatious lyrics", [2] while the Guardian called it the "most commercial song" on the album, and described it as a "synth-pop Kurt Weill duet". [3]
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..
