In the spirit of Gloria Estefan, The Knife’s new album - like love - cuts both ways. On one hand it marks a departure from the wavering and sometimes clumsy beauty of 2004’s DEEP CUTS, and on the other signals a transformation into the more precise and darker world of dance music.

Sometimes described as ‘Haunted House’, SILENT SHOUT can be either starkly sophisticated or as creepy as a man sporting a trench coat and leather gloves. Alluring and dangerous, minimalist and decadent, SILENT SHOUT is about invoking internal contradictions while being externally consistent. Behaving badly to this album is definitely a good idea.
