The Knife have announced that their long-awaited new album, Shaking the Habitual, is out April 8 internationally and April 9 in the U.S. on Rabid/Brille/Mute.
Listen to the second single below, called 'A Tooth For An Eye'. The songs is described by the band as "deconstructs images of maleness, power and leadership. Who are the people we trust as our leaders and why? What do we have to learn from those we consider inferior? In a sport setting where one would traditionally consider a group of men as powerful and in charge, an unexpected leader emerges. A child enters and allows the men to let go of their hierarchies, machismo and fear of intimacy, as they follow her into a dance. Their lack of expertise and vulnerability shines through as they perform the choreography. Amateurs and skilled dancers alike express joy and a sense of freedom; There is no prestige in their performance. The child is powerful, tough and sweet all at once, roaring "I'm telling you stories, trust me". There is no shame in her girliness, rather she possesses knowledge that the men lost a long time ago."
Maybe someone could update it:
Cover and Tracklist are released (double record), and Full of Fire is out there.

Huge fan of The Knife and a big sucker for double albums. its gonna be sweet.
Single A tooth for an eye semes to have leaked, but i cant find it ( search for ‘a tooth for an eye the knife’ in the last 24 hours)
What a mood whiplash…
but the transition is smoth.
no, it doesnt lead right into
full of fire, but the instrumentation gets reduced and more minimalistic at the end.
Counting the days.
Tooth for an Eye as good as Full of Fire.

Has it become the new thing to post links that will be removed to tease others instead of posting “it leaked”?
its probably a bad link anyway
liar

I’ve never looked forward to an album as much as I have been this one.

There are a few fakes and previews going around soulseek. Definitely hasn’t leaked yet.
i think that a leak is imminent. someone already has a physical copy of the CD https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/528886_356032864505121_904946950_n.jpg
theres all kinds of reviews floating around too… so yeah.. it probably will soon.
That’s because critics usually get advanced copies
And those advanced copies are where leaks are born. No reason this shouldn’t be leaked by now.
cant wait anymore :((
Been checking several times a day on this. Have the vinyl pre-ordered, but…gah.
can’t believe were a week out and still nothing.
You have to admit–if there’s one thing The Knife are good at, it’s being mysterious as hell.
I need this to leak before I go on vacation.
the European release is 5th of April. that’s three days from now and there is still no leak. OMG! I have my vinyl ordered but I can’t wait to hear it. F+++
