The Knife Full of Fire

Oh, glory days: The Knife return. For those who have been waiting impatiently through the flurry of 64kbs webrips and teasers that would want to make any fan rip their hair out in nervous frustration, you’ll be excited to hear that “Full of Fire” has finally seen the light of day.

“Full of Fire” roars with intensity, and takes its EDM origins to an ominous place. It’s a bit like if Jamie xx became possessed by the spirit of a witch house producer and then got high in the middle of a Crystal Castles concert. Its chaotic, but it never manages to lose the listener through its daunting 9 minute run time. That said, the first time you listen to its a bit overwhelming; but the second time, its fucking genius how intricate this track is. I can’t believe how much I’ve missed their insane level of talent.

Some bands shortcut the path to the resolution of the track’s turmoil, but you never have to worry about with the Knife. In the first minute Karen Dreijer Andersson warns the listener “that sometimes I get problems that are hard to solve/questions and answers can take very long” and then proceed to gleefully take us along every dark and twisty avenue towards an open ended finish.

Shaking the Habitual, the first album from the band in 7 years, sounds like its going to live up to its concept in all of the grandest ways. Check out the short film associated with the video here and find the official release of the song on Rabid Records official Soundcloud.
