The Knife, Mt. Sims and Planningtorock
Presumably the result of spending too much time hanging out in lightless Arctic caves, The Knife’s new project finds them translating Charles Darwin’s "The Origin Of Species" into an electro-pop opera that mimics the learning of birdsong. Quite the undertaking, I’m sure you’ll agree, but with the help of Mt. Sims and Planningtorock, Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer have made an eagle of what, in lesser hands, would surely have turned out a turkey. The studio version of that opera - Tomorrow, In A Year - will be out on March 1.
