Com a faca e o queijo na mão

Se na Suécia 2009 foi o ano de Fever Ray, 2010 parece estar reservado aos The Knife. A banda, composta pelo extravagante duo Karin and Olof, está envolvida de corpo e alma na gravação do disco "Tomorrow, In A Year" - contando com o envolvimento de Mt. Sims e Planningtorock -, uma espécie de ópera moderna baseada no livro "A Origem das Espécies", de Charles Darwin. "Colouring The Pigeon", o primeiro e bombástico avanço, já toca aqui pela redacção. Vamos ouvir em loop e esperar que o disco nos chegue depressa às mãos. Ficam as palavras de Olof sobre o projecto:

"At first it was very difficult as we really didn't know anything about opera. We'd never been to one. I didn't even know what the word libretto meant. But after some studying, and just getting used to opera's essence of pretentious and dramatic gestures, I found that there is a lot to learn and play with. In fact, our ignorance gave us a positive respectless approach to making opera. It took me about a year to become emotionally moved by an opera singer and now I really do. I really like the basic theatrical values of opera and theeasy way it brings forward a narrative. We've approached this before in The Knife but never in such a clear way."
