"The Knife Call It Quits"

  Quote

 

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.)

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.

aww bummer

Shiiit I still haven't seen em. I think a trip to that Manchester or London gig will be in order.

Fuck. Well, hopefully there'll be some Fever Ray on the way.

hopefully oni ayhun has more time to release some more mindbending techno.

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:

fucking terrible news

This is disappointing, but yeah, there will probably be more Fever Ray.

Whatever they feel is right is fine by me, but this is still a little sad.

cool, can we get a fever ray follow up?

So, about fever ray 2...

Well! :(

I'm glad I got to see them back in April then. 'Twas good times.

They had some very original tunes, I was hoping they'd eventually release a solid album. Oh well.

More Oni Ayhun pls

So I'm going to the London show now.

I'm more excited at the prospect of more Oni Ayhun, he needs a goddamn album.

fuck suck, more fvr ray

+1

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)

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.
