The Knife announce Shaken-Up Versions mini-album release date

Experimental Swedish electronic duo The Knife have announced the release of a mini-album of remixed and reworked versions of some of their tracks for their final tour.

Shaken-Up Versions features eight tracks taken from across the band’s four studio albums, reworked for the Shaking The Habitual tour which ends next month. 

The Knife – made up of siblings Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer – have confirmed that this tour, in support of their first LP in over seven years, will be their last. Describing the show, the duo say: "After the touring last year we reworked the show during the winter. The performers, previously known as dancers, learnt how to sing and play instruments, the stage got three levels, Shannon Funchess joined us and the show became more fun and shiny."

Shaken-Up Versions is out on CD and vinyl on 8 Dec, via Rabid/Brille. The Knife play their final UK dates at Manchester Academy on 5 Nov, and London’s Brixton Academy on 6 Nov.
