There will probably not be any more Fever Ray, but with a double LP from the Knife looming on the horizon and a new nine-minute single next week, I'm not complaining!

Wow, this is great. Thank you!
Shaking The Habitual officially a double cd and triple LP.
Sorry for all the posts, but here's the video for Full of Fire.
This is insane. I didn't expect this at all. Now I just have to figure out how I'm going to fit this on my mixes when some of the songs will take up a quarter's worth of a blank CD...
This link to 'Full Of Fire' works, and has done for the last 24 hours
haven't been able to locate a working link as of yet. isn't it the point of a video to actually be seen?
Yeah it was slated for next week I believe. But that could technically be tomorrow, so. I haven't listened since that first day because the label's good at their job.

preview every track (good quality)
It's probably too early to say this is the best album of 2013, but shit - from the previews alone, I love this.
Nice find! And Radiovoyr speaks the fuckin' truth. This sounds terrific.
this sounds amazing!

Video now on the site, plus preorder options
I have no idea what to think of it. The track's is killer though.
I listened to the previews and it sounds horrible. Too much like the music they did for the opera. I love the new single and I thought the album would be dance-y and dark. But from what I heard it sounds just dark and a pain in the ass to listen to. Too much weird sounds and no melody. I am a huge The Knife fan but this is just disappointing. The same goes for the new video... what was that? I hope they make it up for me on the concert in Munich.
I have to agree with this. The video was pointless and boring. The single has some interesting elements, but overall.. it just doesn't work for me. The samples from the album also sound boring and uninspired. I haven't written the album off till I hear it, but my expectations are super low now.
Holy shit that song is fucking great. Totally not what I expected it to sound like, but I'm okay with that.
completely sick of everyone all over the internet shitting on this album over 2 months before it comes out
"omg i didnt like/couldnt handle tomorrow, in a year and i hate oni ayhun blah blah blah fever ray was the peak"
fuck off
I actually love the video. I think it makes a lot of sense for the knife. It's voyeuristic and genderless... kind of their thing. I think people are expecting it to be more straight forward in the way that the Fever Ray videos all had a clear theme that matched the song in a obvious way. They were amazing, but I would be disappointed if the Knife made a video that was significantly less open to interpretation.
edit; Also, I loved the opera stuff and I still listening to it fairly regularly, so I am not bothered by some of the previews having that vibe. I think we have to remember that most of these songs are fucking long, so there is a really good chance that the previews are not showing off the meaty parts of the songs.

Brief explanation of the video:

that song is awesome
I really love the Salt-n-Pepa reference at the end of Full of Fire
lol I totally missed that.
Everything else I've been anticipating has leaked or come out already, so this is currently my most anticipated album of the year.
A second song, A Tooth For An Eye, is out there.
I heard tooth for an eye a few days ago. Trying not to overplay it so I won't be sick of it when the actual album gets here, but it was excellent on first listen.
I've only listened to Tooth For An Eye once but it reminded me of some of the dark tropical vibes of the first two albums. Just grown-up, maybe, and a little harsher.
