Source. The Knife – Shaking the Habitual The Knife just released a video for one of the songs, A Tooth for an Eye, from their upcoming album: Shaking the Habitual. The album is going to be out in April this year, and they already released a video for a song from the same album, Full of Fire, last month. If the first video was kind of sick and freaky, I actually…
Source. The Knife – Full of Fire album cover The latest video released by the Swedish electronic band The Knife was directed by a feminist pornfilmmaker, Marit Östberg. If we were talking here about Lady Gaga, or Adele, or God knows who, maybe this would’ve sound shocking, but I guess this is quite normal for a band which is best known for their erratic videos and shows. They chose to make a…
Source. Yes, you’ve heard it well. The well known Swedish electronic brother and sister duo, are going to release a new album after a 7 years break, in spring 2013. All the information available about the band’s new album is a teaser video posted on the facebook page and the official website, and you can watch it below. Music can be so meaningless.

Last year, a unique musical opera based on Charles Darwin and his book “On The Origin Of Species” was performed, and subsequently released, by The Knife, Mt. Sims and Planningtorock, which from my understanding has been highly praised well beyond the Scandinavian scene.

I’ve just finished watching Karim’s latest video for the chilling “Triangle Walks,” that just premiered over at stereogum, at the end of which is hard for anyone not visually impaired not to sit back for a few good seconds and gasp “WOW!” The video just hits you from the very few frames – beautifully dark-blue lights, ambiental chills and Karim Andersson’s elusive appearances make it a creepy, yet, at the same time, a surreal experience….
Karin Andersson’s debut self-titled record, released under her Fever Ray moniker, is one of the loveliest of the year, packed with a vibe of serenity and bliss. It’s incredible how Karin channeled her creativity and talent on the album, proving she will never really be able to stay away from music. Let’s just hope she doesn’t forget about her other creative outlet, as part of The Knife, anytime too soon. Her third single from her…
Album name: Fever Ray Artist name: Fever Ray Genre: Electronica Released: March 24 2009 Label: Mute ZME Rating: 7/10 Website: feverray.com I’ll admit that I was probably not the obvious choice to review this album. Not only is the world of electronic music a distant, confusing galaxy to my feeble, earth-bound, two-guitars-and-the-truth brain, but I’m also overcome by an unhealthy amount of uncontrollable hate when confronted by the vast array of commericial “chillout” electronica, all…
