The Knife announce Shaken-Up mini album for 16 June 2014
The Knife Announce Shaken-Up Versions Mini Album due 16 June
‘Without You My Life Would Be Boring’ Digital EP OUT TODAY 20 May.
On 16 June, Rabid/Brille are digitally releasing Shaken-Up Versions, a mini album of classic Knife tracks reworked especially for the band’s recent North American leg of their Shaking The Habitual Tour. Vinyl and CD versions of the mini album will follow later this summer. The Shaking The Habitual show was a rejuvenating experience for the mind and soul, inspiring TIME Magazine to demand it as “mandatory viewing for music fans.” Reverb Magazine proclaimed, “A performance of this scale is rare. And, it wakes us to the fact that not only is art far from irrelevant, but in the form of The Knife, we can be reminded again of its force.” See below for a complete tracklisting.
To preview the new versions, the ‘Shaken-Up’ version of ‘Without You My Life Would Be Boring’ is being released today, accompanied by a video and three remixes (from Rroxymore, J. Phlip and Kat Knix). Watch the video directed by Bitte Andersson here: http://bit.ly/1ginpYB
