Review: The Knife – Tomorrow, In A Year

Tomorrow, In A Year
Etcetc
The epic proportions of this release defy measurement.
The Knife’s latest offering, Tomorrow, In A Year, is a feast for the senses.
Born out of work the Swedish electronic outfit undertook while writing the music for Danish performance group, Hotel Pro Forma’s opera based on Charles Darwin and his book, ‘On the Origin of the Species’, this release left me speechless.
While The Knife is known for their artist flair, this release not only pushes the boundaries of combining classical operatic movement with electronica, it boldly bucks the bounds of what we understand to be sound.
Tomorrow, In A Year will no doubt divide many, though as it should, it will ultimately conquer.
Five stars

I discovered The Knife’s ‘Colouring of Pigeons’ and instantly fell in love. I loved it so much I played it to everyone I came across for the rest of the week. Sadly, the majority responded with descriptors such as ‘weird’ and the like. I think it’s brilliant and beautiful!
