Remember this video?

Well, if you were thinking that you haven't heard from The Knife in a while it's because they've been busy working on an opera. Yep, an opera.

The Knife (along with fellow Euro-Muso collaborators, Mt. Sims and Planningtorock) was commissioned by Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma to write the music for the opera titled, 'Tomorrow In A Year'. Based on Charles Darwin's book, 'On The Origin Of The Species', it explores Darwinian theory and the story of evolution. Fairly original for an opera huh...??

Unfortunately it doesn't look like we'll be seeing the production at the Sydney Opera House any time soon. However, you can grab a free download of the first track to be released from the studio album - just go to www.theknife.net. It's really good, and even better because it's about 12 minutes long. The entire album is due to be released on March 1st.

I think it's so cool to see contemporary musicians working on conceptual projects such as this. I hope you like.
