The Knife Prep New Album For 2012 Release

The Knife are working on a new album for release in 2012.

The the announcement of new material, made via their website, was somewhat secondary in a post about housing rights of Romani people in Europe. The update reads:

‘The Knife is now recording a new album to be released in 2012

Lately we have read a lot about the ongoing discrimination of Romani people in Europe which is totally unacceptable. The forced evictions must stop and adequate alternative housing must be arranged. Now!

We would like to ask you to make two postcards to take action for the Roma housing rights in Rome:

And sign the petitions:

Here’s some information in Swedish:

It’s been five years since the band’s last album proper, ‘Silent Shout’, with opera ‘Tomorrow, In A Year’ and Karin Dreijer Andersson’s Fever Ray both appearing in the meantime.
