The Knife

[jbae]

i just started listening to The Knife and so far i enjoyed most of the songs they made. They wear masks to hide their identity like daft punk which i found interesting except they aren't cool robots but wear weird bird masks. Their Silent Shout album is worth listening to.

[Shmoal]

im listening to them right now!!!:D:D
but im listening to the 'Deep Cuts' ablum, i love the song heartbeats! do you advise any songs that i sould listen to??

[jbae]

mmm i like We Share our mother's health and Like a Pen

[Daniel5555]

Jbae i got their latest cd and a concert recorded in sweden i think, at any time i will post the link so you can download it;).

[jbae]

aha sweet :) thanks daniel

[theduuude21]

Yeah the knife is similar to daft punk and awesome too.

[dualechelon]

I recently discovered the Knife as well, check out some of their videos on last.fm. Spooky, but cool.

I love their music, really emotional and cryptic, but you still wanna dance (or at least nod your head)

[forensicscene]

anyone into these neat Swedes?

[monicayeaah]

Yes I looove them!

[Shmoal]

I think there is already a post on this,no sure tho!!

Ooh, I did a search and didn't find one, but if there already is, feel free to swipe it out, mods.

Yay for fellow fans! My friend saw them when they played New York about 2 years ago and said it was one of the best live shows she's ever seen. !sad at me missing out!

[GijsH]

I love them :D

[forensicscene]

I love them but they only look stupid :D


I dunno, I can understand where they're coming from. It's not unlike what DP pulled pre-robot phase!

Sounds amazing.

[spamwichx]

Omg it's so good <3

[Pants3000]

If they don't release a DVD of "Tomorrow, In A Year", I'll probably cry. And as everyone knows, my tears turn into jellybeans!

But it would still be sad.

[Juniper]

i adore the knife. one of my fav songs is marble house. and of course, if you love the knife you gotta love fever ray. she doesn't hide her identity then and she's pretty hot.

anyways, they're fantastic. if anyone knows of similar sounding bands, i would love to check them out!

Why don't more artists do stuff like this? The closest I'd ever heard of an "electro-opera" before now was Interstella.

Not very similar to the Knife but it's sort of electro rock opera.

[Pants3000]

I've listened to the entire opera. Best opera anywhere ever. Hands down, pants off.

[Juniper]

omg i cannot wait for the whole thing to be released.

for the past three days i cant listen to anything except the knife. nothing. i try, no luck. everytime i realize more just how brilliant silent shout is. damn that karin and olof!

[spamwichx]

Excited as mang,
Tomorrow, In A Year is coming to Melbourne in October 21-23.
I would love to see it. Only if my HSC exams aren't on.

Other than Daft announcing album 4, this is the best news in the world. So ****ing excited I cant contain myself

[GijsH]

I'm really excited now!!! :) I was not a great fan of tomorrow in a year but I'm sure this album will be amazing! Sounds like that teaser video is reversed or something.

Since this hasn't popped up in this thread yet: We Share Our Mother's Health (Trentemoller Remix) (https://soundcloud.com/doublejosh/we-share-our-mothers-health-trentemoller-remix)

[DaftFrank74x]

yea tomorrow in a year is like their Tron, not a proper studio effort. This should be amazing. And that trentemoller remix is fantastic, he has some great tracks and remixes

[GijsH]

Got me some tickets for their live show in Brussels :)

[bananaeconomics]

pumped for the new album. bummed there's no dates outside of Europe.

Ditto. Probs because Karins kids may not be old enough yet or something I guess

[jamesrosenrosen]

I am lucky enough to be going to one of the London shows, the new album is spectacular!

[Camerabob1]

Listening to "Old Dreams Waiting To Be Realized". Good god, this song is creepy.

if you listen to it on a good Hi-Fi system, in the right frame of mind, it's spectacular, the sound literally sounds like it is travelling around the room, absolutely amazing album.

["HUMAN"]

New album is a monster, absolutely amazing piece of work.

[GijsH]

I saw them two days ago in Brussels. My expectations were kinda low because I had heard some bad things about the concert. But it was really good. Very intense! :D
