THE KNIFE

Silent Shout (20th Anniversary Release, Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue, Violet Coloured Vinyl, 2LP)

Includes Printed Inner Sleeves. 20th Anniversary Re-Release Limited to 4,000 Copies

After the effervescent, Eurodisco-tinged pop of their 2003 album, Deep Cuts, the Dreijers developed a dark parallel world on their 2006 follow-up.

With menacing electronics rooted in early techno and identity masking via the art of pitch shifting, The Knife used their platform to subvert institutional structures and challenge social norms. They were a band with something to say and people
were listening. For all its clean air, the isolated community they were raised in was suffocatingly patriarchal. The weight of gendered expectations almost too much to bear. In that context, Silent Shout is a protest album of sorts. Songs like “Forest Families” and “One Hit” gnash their teeth at the pressure that sexism, homophobia, and capitalism exert.
