Listen: The Knife’s new Darwin-inspired album/opera Tomorrow, In a Year
Thursday, January 28th, 2010
We’re streaming The Knife’s studio version of their Darwin-inspired opera ‘Tomorrow, In A Year’ (player below). Here’s some more background on the project while you listen, c/o Rabid Records:
…The Knife decided to make this a collaborative process, working with artists Mt. Sims and Planningtorock for the first time, to capture the huge width of the Darwin and evolution theme. They extensively researched Darwin related literature and articles, with Olof attending a field recording workshop in the Amazon to find inspiration and to record sounds.
As Ralf Christensen puts it in his biography of the album, “Closed headphones and open mind are strongly recommended.”
Stream, complete track listing and (weird, yet informative) roundtable discussion with Karin, Olof, Planningtorock, & Mt. Sims after the cut.
