Elusive Swedish duo, The Knife release their new single “We Share Our Mother’s Health” on July 24th. Best described as bass-heavy, electro shock-pop, the song is set to a disturbing, sadistic computer game-esque video by acclaimed Japanese animator Motomichi Nakamura. Featuring floating decapitated heads and children marching off the edge of a tall building, the video is one of the best we’ve seen all year. The Knife will be playing major festivals around Europe this summer before returning to the UK for selected appearances over the coming months. They are amazing live and rarely play in the UK, so make sure you catch them while they’re over.

The knife are not good, they are bad. I do not like the knife, they wore crow masks in their promoshots. It looked stupid, the lyrics are bad, the videos are bad.

Did they pay you to mention this weak-ass video? The intro you wrote sounds like ad copy.

the knife are the kind of hot crap coils that should be signed to Vice Recordings. sure their music is incredible, and the videos are good and the two of them are interesting weirdos, but fuck they suck

Jon: Dude they´re not “wierdos” the guy is an ex goth and the girl is the regulair indiepop girl gone “serious” with her music and write horrible lyrics with an “feminist edge”. To call them wierd is like outing yourself as a moby loving talkshow host.
