Swedish siblings The Knife have announced details of their upcoming new album.

They’re releasing a studio version of ‘Tomorrow, In A Year’, their opera inspired by Charles Darwin, on 1st March. The piece was originally conceived with theatrical production company Hotel Pro Forma.

“I really like the basic theatrical values of opera and the easy way it brings forward a narrative,” said The Knife’s Olaf. “We’ve approached this before in The Knife but never in such a clear way.”

The CD release of the opera comprises two CDs, and features ‘Colouring of Pigeons’, which the band have put on their website as a free download. Click here to access it.
