The Knife premiered new single A Tooth For An Eye on BBC Radio 6 today - and here's the video! Directed by Roxy Farhat and Kakan Hermansson we get a glimpse from a sports club and what's on for the night. Love the modern dance parts! Both the visuals and track feel like a cousin to Pass This On. Do you agree? Enjoy belooow! Shaking The Habitual is out on April 8th!
The Knife's album Shaking The Habitual drops on April 8th and here you can preview next single A Tooth For An Eye and also A Cherry On Top (same as the teaser) + Fracking Fluid Injection. Wow, we can definitely hear it's the Dreijer siblings but they have taken their new material into a new realm - a more experimental and darker path. They are digging deeper into electronical music, gender and society as a whole. Listen belooow! Thoughts? For Full of Fire - the first single click here!

The Knife premiered their Full of Fire single last week - and here's the Marit Östbergdirected short film to it! This track fits perfectly as the soundtrack to these visuals. Östberg - a Berlin based queer feminist porn director and producer has created a truly unique piece that fits Karin and Olof's storytelling perfectly. To the hard industrial beat we get striking visuals discussing sexuality, gender identity + expression, social class and uproar to oppression of various forms. Have a look below! Thoughts? Says Marit:
The film ‘Full of Fire’ started to grow as an embryo in the song´s lines ‘Who looks after my story’. Who takes care of our stories when the big history, written by straight rich white men, erase the complexity of human's lives, desires and conditions? The film ‘Full of Fire’ consists of a network of fates, fears, cravings, longings, losses, and promises. Fates that at first sight seem isolated from each other, but if we pay attention, we can see that everything essentially moves into each other. Our lives are intertwined and our eyes on each other, our sounds and smells, mean something. Our actions create reality, we create each other. We are never faceless, not even in the most grey anonymous streets of the city. We will never stop being responsible, being extensions, of one another. We will never stop longing for each other, and for something else.”
