Wow! The Knife (collaborating with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock) composed the score for a Danish Opera inspired by the evolutionary musings of Charles Darwin in his seminal work On the Origin of Species. In addition to the scientific awesomeness of this opera actually existing, The Knife are also releasing their score as an album entitled Tomorrow, In A Year on March 1. While still sounding like The Knife, Colouring of Pigeons, the first track released off the album, fully embraces an operatic style and is not only grand and dramatic, but also slightly menacing with its hollow bells. The Knife rely on some nimble bells and really showcase the talented opera singers in contrast to and complementing Karin's unique vocals. It is opera, but it is also electro and it works. Hooray for creative popularizations of important scientific discoveries. Now lets get an opera about Joseph Lister or Copernicus.
