Video: The Knife – “Full Of Fire”

What a treat, about 48 hours after we got new music from The Knife a video has surfaced for “Full Of Fire” The first taste of the Swedish siblings forthcoming LP, Shaking The Habitual. Of course this being The Knife you know you can expect something out of the box, the clip(short film) comes courtesy of "feminist porn" director Marit Östberg and features all kinds of atypical sexual scenarios being played out in public spaces. Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer appear in the video(in disguise of course) Karin plays the woman in the black wig in the apartment, while Olof plays the man in the scarf.

Listen: The Knife - "Full Of Fire"

The Knife have released some of my favorite music of all time, it’s been 6 years since their last proper full length, the unstoppable Silent Shout, but as luck would have it The duo’s first single from their new record, Shaking The Habitual is out next week and you can steam it in its entirety now. Coming in at 9 minutes, “Full of Fire” builds upon the organic sound the Sweds created with their opera, Tomorrow, In A Year  while capturing the darkness found in Silent Shout  and popyness of Deep Cuts. Frankly they could have recorded a toilet flushing and I would have been happy as any new material from this brother and sister team is welcomed.  Shaking The Habitual is out April 9th through Brille/Mute, check out the stream below along side some LP info...
