Flavorwire

Nearly seven years after their last album, Silent Shout, Swedish brother-sister duo The Knife are back with typically ethereal ten-minute single “Full of Fire.” Accompanied by a short film by Marit Osberg that depicts “a network of fates, fears, cravings, longings, losses, and promises,” the song mixes eerie, electronic rhythms with enigmatic lyrics delivered by Karin Dreijer Andersson. Fittingly for a track that contains the words, “Let’s talk about gender, baby,” the film includes plenty of gender-bending characters, including an androgynous old woman, a biker couple into bondage, and a pair of riot policewomen hassling a group of protesters. If the rest of the duo’s upcoming album, Shaking the Habitual, is half as strange, The Knife are definitely back.
