Hoodie Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 This morning, a post on their site announced that the fall European trek would be "our last tour," but it wasn't clear if that meant their last tour for latest album Shaking the Habitual or last tour in general. However, in a subsequent interview with Dazed, the group's Karin Dreijer revealed that the Knife are calling it quits for good. "When we finish the tour now in November we will close down, it’s our last tour," she said. "We don’t have any obligations to continue, it should only and always be for fun." (We have also confirmed the break up a representative for the band.) http://pitchfork.com/news/56416-the-knife-call-it-quits/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 they had a good run. wasn't a big fan of their latest album - I much preferred the sound of Silent Shout; I thought there was still room to evolve that style of sound they had going on back in '06.

KovalainenFanBoy Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 how am i supposed to cut this steak now lol They had a pretty good run, in my opinion. Shaking The Habitual is a great last album (long ass irrelevant ambient pieces aside). Let's see what the future brings Also, if this means more Fever Ray, then... :yeah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bitroast Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 there's still the physical release for Shaken Up Versions to come out, yeS? I was looking forward to a condensed beat oriented compilation of knife tracks to spin on the odd occasion (especially if not in the mood for the 3xLP ambience ridden Habitual) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Khq9N_45_6s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghOsty Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Never really did get around to giving The Knife much of a listen, but if some new Fever Ray comes out as the result of this break-up I'm okay with that. I should give The Knife more of a listen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
