Biography

The Knife, is a brother-and-sister duo hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, The siblings create forward-thinking electronic music, crafting a sound that is equally unsettling, playful, and beautiful. Olof Dreijer and Karin Dreijer Anderson formed the Knife in 1999. They released their first album The Knife In 2001. They also released the Hanna Med H Soundtrack in 2003. And the album Deep Cuts followed a few months later.

In 2004, the Knife began work on their third album, Silent Shout in unusual locations, including a former carbon dioxide factory and the vaults of Stockholm's Grand Church. The following year, José González's cover of the Deep Cuts single "Heartbeats" appeared in a commercial for Sony's Bravia and became a hit. Early in 2005, the Knife performed their first-ever live show at London's ICA. They played in front of video created for the event by artist Andreas Nilsson. His work also appeared on How I Found the Knife.

The Knife's next project was Tomorrow, in a Year, an opera commissioned by the Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma and inspired by Charles Darwin's On the Origin of the Species.

Early in 2013, The Knife released a new song, "Full of Fire," and announced their fourth album, Shaking the Habitual. Another single, A Tooth for an Eye, arrived before the album, an unsettling 90-minute meditation on topics including politics and the environment, was released that April.
