Silent Shout by The Knife

Silent Shout, the third album from Gothenburg siblings Karin and Olof Dreijer as the Knife, came out on 17 February 2006 through Rabid Records, the label the pair run themselves. It's a darker, colder beast than Deep Cuts: synths pulse and throb like something alive under ice, and the voices bend into eerie, unplaceable shapes. The duo drew on the abstract animation of Oskar Fischinger and Charles Burns's creepy comic Black Hole, and you can feel both in the music's glowing, unsettling contours.

"Silent Shout", "Marble House", "We Share Our Mothers' Health" and "Like a Pen" were the singles, and the album took the duo on the road for the first time. Critics adored it. A deluxe edition later added a DVD and CD of their 12 April 2006 show in Gothenburg.
