After a string of forward thinking records filled with challenging electro-jams about love, hate and golden showers – not to mention the freaky Fever Ray side project from singer Karin Driejer Andersson – Swedish duo The Knife are no strangers to the unexpected. Yet with their latest work they’ve truly outdone themselves.

Recorded alongside collaborators Mt. Sims and Planningtorock The Knife’s latest musical journey is the much-buzzed-about Tomorrow, In A Year, their attempt at scoring an opera on Charles Darwin’s Origin Of The Species.

Hear the whole thing (that’s two discs of genre blurring ambition) right here on inthemix before local legends etcetc release it later this week.
