MOG Editorial Review

Upon its release, many hailed The Knife’s Silent Shout as the best electronic album the post-millennial decade had seen. The work of siblings Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer stands as a compelling and complex work of beats and synths, shrouded in a mood as dark as their elaborate live performances tend to skew. “We Share Our Mother’s Health” offers popping electronics and multi-layered vocals, shining a light on the otherwise moody, reclusive duo, while “Forest Families” and “Silent Shout” expand upon the intensity that carries the whole record. Often tweaking or pitch-shifting Dreijer Andersson’s vocals, The Knife create a creepy, sinister world fit for otherworldly, psychopathic minds.
