The Knife - Silent Shout

[kid cue]

Phil Sherburne raved about this album in his Pitchfork column. Has anyone heard it? I bought an outrageously priced import copy on the strength of his recommendation, and have to echo his sentiments. What a blast from leftfield for Swedish dance-pop. It's tracky and techno and cold, like a black night in winter. The darkness fits well with modern times. I think a US label has picked it up for later release, so hopefully the album will find a wider audience.
