The Knife

If you don't hear from me again, it's JT's fault.

EDIT: I'm fairly sure it's not legal, as it looks like you can download the mp3. I removed it after posting. Sorry, I'm a bastard about this stuff.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Thank you for the free MP3, mofo, if you're still alive.

It's not bad on first listen. A little melody-less maybe, which is a bit disappointing. But it certainly has a lot of energy.

Thanks again for the free MP3

.....................pssst

Spoiler

I think he's dead

 

[Jive Turkey]

Your silence has filled me with much guilt. So much so that I erased the file

 

[Danny Boy]

No one is above the law.

UTAH MAN DIES OF SELF-INFLICED MUSKET WOUND


"The words 'I'M SORRY' were written repeatedly all over the deceased's walls..."

 

[No spoken words]

No, he's walking to Toronto......

 

[Imperor]

Between this, Bowie, and YYY, it's going to be a banner year for shitty album art.

 

[u2popmofo]

Seriously, what's up with that cover?

Vid's officially up now. Don't watch this at work....

If you're at work, here's a stream of the song only:

[u2popmofo]

The song is available on iTunes now as well. I like it a great deal.

P'forked as Best New Track.

The Knife: "Full of Fire" | Tracks | Pitchfork

 

[Danny Boy]

Why does Mofo lie? I can't find the track on iTunes and that SoundCloud link is broken.

 

[u2popmofo]

You're right, it doesn't look like it's on iTunes now (I still had it on the "Shaking the Habitual" page from this morning, re-searched and it was gone). Assume it will be up tonight, Tuesday releases and such. I bought it there this morning though, so it definitely was up.

 

[Danny Boy]

I did find it on SoundCloud:

Full of Fire by Rabid Records on SoundCloud - Hear the world’s sounds

 

[phanan]

Great track.

Didn't care for the video.

 

[PhilsFan]

She saw a vision of the future that contained nothing but GAF and Peefer getting drunk.

You son of a bitch...

Between this, Bowie, and YYY, it's going to be a banner year for shitty album art.

I laughed entirely too hard at the phrase "banner year for shitty album art." BUT IT'S TRUE.

 

[u2popmofo]

You son of a bitch...

Maybe they were tears of joy.

 

[PhilsFan]

I'm actually much more offended by GAF choosing JT over me for his dream band. I may have to trek to Utah to learn the ways of the musket.

 

[cobl04]

Someone on Twitter called this new song "an encapsulation of what insanity might sound like". Pretty close to the money I'd reckon. Cool tune though.

 

[Imperor]

This track is so, so bad ass.

 

[u2popmofo]

This track is so, so bad ass.

Agreed. Love it.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Listening to it now for the first time. I shall live blog it.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Drums. Military sounding drums.

Here come some other noises.

Now some whispery vocals!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

A menacing new sound appears...sounding sort of like a burp.

Even more strange noises!

Now we settle into an extended instrumental passage with taut bursts of futuristic tones. Guitar maybe? Probably not.

Sounds like someone laughing in the background...might also be a sound effect...or someone scratching a vinyl record.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Vocals getting scarier and more heavily processed here around the halfway mark.

That laughing sound reappears...now more like the shrieks of a caged monkey at the zoo.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

"When you're full of fire, what's the object of your desire?"

Switch of pace and intensity there in the last couple of minutes. Weird song. Thanks for reading.

 

[u2popmofo]

Another new track is out!

Watch: The Knife Dismantle Gender Roles in Video for New Single "A Tooth for an Eye" | News | Pitchfork

FYI, Full of Fire is far and away my most listened to song of the year.

 

[u2popmofo]

Album is streaming on Pitchfork. Not sure if I'm going to listen to it or just wait. Probably the album I'm most excited for at this point.

 

[Danny Boy]

Pitchfork is blocked at my office, but I might listen to this tonight.
