If there’s any band fit for a DVD compilation of music videos and live footage, it’s reclusive Swedes The Knife. ‘Silent Shout: An Audio Video Experience’ is out this month.
It’s not easy to turn electronic music into a live performance, but The Knife may be the band giving it their best shot. Knife shows even have a visual director, Andreas Nilsson, who also has directed four eye-popping videos for the band. If you missed their recent live shows in America and elsewhere, this month they’re releasing a DVD to replicate the experience at home.
‘Silent Shout: An Audio Visual Experience’ collects all eleven of the band’s videos and live footage from the pair's April 12, 2006 gig in Gothenburg, Sweden. The package also contains a documentary short on the band ‘When I Found the Knife’ directed by label co-chief Frau Rabid.
Latest Knife single ‘Like a Pen’ is there among the best eleven. The video is again directed by Nilsson, and it might be his best effort yet. But don’t take our word for it, check it out. [QT streaming high, med, low] [WMV download high, med, low]
The Knife: An Audio Visual Experience is out now in Sweden on DVD via Rabid Records. There’s no word on international distribution yet, but you can order the DVD on their website.
