The Knife share dense press release as epic and bizarre as their music

The mysterious brother/sister synthpop duo known as The Knife follow no trends except for their own. Their visuals are gender bending Lynchian puzzles, their new album, Shaking the Habitual, is 100 minutes long. So, it stands to reason that these Swedish weirdos would spring something like this recent press release on us.

Clocking in at 532 words, and penned by Jess Arndt, the piece has very little information in the way of what to expect from the forthcoming record, and a lot to say about class structure, nature, corporate greed, and other fun stuff like that. Here's an excerpt, just to give you an idea:

"How at 5am that warehouse beat is coming up like sour steam. All over the dance floor we're asking: can this DNA turn into something else? It's not metaphorical. It's explicit. There are surgeries and fantasies and holes sweating through the wall. It's a question about feelings. It's a question about who gets to risk. But things don't change so easily. There's still Monsanto, fracking and "terminator seeds." Every morning we wake up wondering: who's kicking who on the street corner?"

Welp...okay!
