the Knife - Silent Shout

what a surpise album. this came from nowhere and blew me away. The Knife have been around for a long time but i'd never really recognised that some of the music of theirs that i had heard actually belonged to them. if that makes any sense. what i am saying is that i'd heard knife songs, but the association was not there. This album from 2006 starts off with the cracking title track Silent Shout ( and the worlds scariest film clip ) and the delivers a bunch more electronic gems ranging from the dancy Like a Pen and Neverland to the ambient, blade runner esque The Captain, the intensity of Forest Families and the downright strange Na Na Na and Still light It's not for everyone but its a quirky spacious sound that more recent acts such as crystal castles have tried to emulate with limites success.
