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."

Great album, so good to be real.
Links don’t work?
Nevermind – figured it out! This is awesome!
Difficult to listen to sometimes, but a real accomplishment. I think it would’ve been better to make an album about ending extreme wealth that people on wall street would actually listen to, like Deep Cuts with Shaking the Habitual’s message. But still cool. The comics that go along with it are clever too. Check it out here: http://www.mangonebula.blogspot.com.es/2013/04/the-knife-shaking-habitual.html
