Released in the states this week, the deluxe edition of The Knife’s awesome awesome so-awesome Silent Shout comes with the original album, a live cd, and the DVD Silent Shout: An Audio Visual Experience. On that DVD, you’ll find the April 2006 concert in Gothenburg, Sweden, 11 music videos, and the short film “When I Found The Knife.” I was lucky enough to catch The Knife’s video installation/planetarium laser show/black mass at the El Rey last November. It’s a hell of a thing, and you can dance to it. Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Sloar that day, I can tell you.
But as you know, The Knife isn’t just about otherworldly fear. If the Dreijer siblings weren’t tapped into great swaths of human experience, would they have been able to write what might be the best song of the decade?
