Album Summary

Silent Shout is the third studio album by Swedish electronic music duo the Knife, released on 17 February 2006 by Rabid Records. The album is darker than its predecessor, Deep Cuts (2003). It spawned four singles: "Silent Shout", "Marble House", "We Share Our Mothers' Health" and "Like a Pen". The album, the music video for the title track and some of the press photos were inspired by the work of German-American animator Oskar Fischinger and the comic book series Black Hole by American cartoonist Charles Burns. A three-disc deluxe edition of Silent Shout was released in Europe on 2 July 2007 and in the US on 17 July. In addition to the studio album, this package includes the DVD Silent Shout: An Audio Visual Experience (which contains the Knife's live concert in Gothenburg on 12 April 2006, as part of their Silent Shout tour, and all of the duo's music videos to date), as well as a CD of the concert's audio.

This was a surprising album. I'm always a bit sceptical when I read 'electronic music', but this was kinda experimental in a fun way. It may not be the 'danceable' type, but I liked it

I was aware of Karin Dreijer because of Fever Ray. I recall my brother mentioning her brother and this band when we talked about that, but I never actually checked any of it out. The kinship is clearly enough, and I liked this, though mostly the vocals seemed best treated as another instrument - lyricallynit didnt do a lot for me.
