The Knife return with new video

The epic nine-minute clip has resurfaced having been removed by Swedish website SVT Play over the weekend.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 28 Jan 2013

After a week or so of rumours, whispers and stories, The Knife finally confirmed their comeback via Swedish website SVT Play on Friday. The nine-minute epic short film to accompany 'Full Of Fire' then disappeared over the weekend, before raring its strange demonic head again this morning.

Not including their 2010 collaborations, 'Full Of Fire' is the first new music the elusive Swedish duo have released since 2006's Silent Shout. The video is directed by feminist porn creator Marit Óstberg and stars Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olaf Dreijer in a sprawling nine-minutes of mayhem.

Check it out below.

The Knife's fourth studio album Shaking The Habitual is due on April 8.

Gone are the booming synths and melodic choruses. Instead, techno darlings The Knife have embraced their gothic side. But why are they dressed as birds?

Shout has more in common with minimal-trance producers like Nathan Fake and Gabriel Ananda as the epic chords that underpin the hushed vocals on the title track and the quasi-mystical synth washes of ‘The Captain’ demonstrate.

The original’s a dark, brooding electro-pop tale of lost teeth, complete with squealing synths. Williams' mix is mighty and meaty. Then everything gets arpeggiated and it ends up being a monster. Troy Pierce has ze minimal swing…

The Knife are becoming something of a cult favourite – with this steel drum-heavy slice of electro/pop, it’s hard not to see why. Dahlback and Dahlback up the acidic electro/tech pressure as you’d expect, while MANDY’s mix is brilliant – it’s simply the original x 10.

It was almost a year ago that I met my Swedish flatmate and first began my love affair with The Knife. I took one listen to ‘Heartbeats’ – the first and still the best track on Deep Cuts – and knew that I’d become privy to something very special. With repeated listening (and selective leaking), I kept The Knife close to my heart. So it was with great trepidation that I learned of the release of Deep Cuts in the rest of Europe.

2005-02-21 - REVIEW

Come early 2005, absolutely everyone is pinning their colours to the next-big-thing mast, and the smart money is on brother and sister Karin and Olof Dreiger, a duo who are already Grammy-winning types in their native Sweden. They may be a little late for the electro-clash revival, but their unorthodox synth sounds, spiked with reggae, Euro-pop and Japanese punk are little short of astounding.

2005-02-08 - REVIEW

Having conquered the music scene in their native Sweden, purveyors of dark electro-pop and socially aware lyrics The Knife have turned their attention to the rest of Europe.

Beautiful.
