Album Description
Available in:
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, 2003's Deep Cuts. It spawned four singles: "Silent Shout", "Marble House", "Like a Pen" and "We Share Our Mothers' Health".
The album, the music video for the title track and some of the press photos were inspired by 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.
User Album Review
Re-released in deluxe 3-disc form on the back of some triumphantly strange gigs (included on DVD and CD here) and vast critical approval, Olof and Karin Dreijer’s The Knife are a duo who almost single-handedly prove that it’s possible in this day and age to be both weird and wildly commercial. While the rest of the known world seems desperate to retreat into reactionary, guitar-led, pre-digested 'rebellion', these siblings are busy actually doing something new. Even a year after its original release, Silent Shout, while happy to reference everything from Industrial Techno to New Romanticism and even some Tangerine Dream, still sounds like nothing else. This is a good thing.
If one word could possibly sum up this melange of blips, heavily-treated vocals and European sang froid it’s ‘creepy’. Yes, Silent Shout is somehow deeply disturbing. Partly recorded in various strange locations such as factories and churches, it’s often bleakly post-industrial with Karin’s vocals pitch-shifted into the male register, giving things an air of palpable menace. Even where you get close to her natural timbre on tracks like “Like A Pen” or “Marble House” there’s a remoteness that, while cold, remains icily seductive. The Swedish duo’s inclusion on various prime-time TV series (Ugly Betty, CSI) proves that frankly, sometimes we all like to be a bit weirded out.
Lazy journalism would lead many to compare this kind of rollicking techno mixed with outré vocals to, say, Goldfrapp. But whereas Alison Goldfrapp’s muse is more straightforwardly sexual, The Knife want to take you to a far darker place. For starters no one’s even seen their faces, and the bonus live DVD (coupled with an essay on Schoenberg, natch) shows a band who clearly wish to push boundaries. All you indie kids may feel safer within your six-stringed comfort zone. But Silent Shout has ten times more to say. Be afraid…
