The Knife is an electronic indie duo from Sweden formed in 1999. The band consists of brother and sister Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer, who also run their own record company, Rabid Records.
One of the group's distinguishing characteristics is their unwillingness to cooperate with the media or the mainstream music scene. The group rarely makes public appearances, most of their promotional photos feature the members wearing masks, and until recently, they outright refused to perform live concerts.
The Knife won a Grammis award as best pop group of the year 2003, but they boycotted the ceremony by sending two representatives of another artist group dressed as gorillas with the number 50 written on their costumes. They did this as a protest against male dominance within the music industry. Their album Deep Cuts was also nominated for a Grammis as the best record of the year 2003, although that award went to The Cardigans. It was also in 2003 that the The Knife was featured as Artist of the Week at HitQuarters, which helped them gain greater attention in the worldwide music community.
The group gained greater notoriety in late 2005 when José González covered "Heartbeats" on his 2003 album, Veneer. The song was then used for Sony's Color Like No Other BRAVIA commercial and was released as a single in early 2006.
The Knife's song "We Share Our Mother's Health" from their album, Silent Shout, was featured by the iTunes store as a free song of the week in late 2006.
The Knife's first ever live shows began in 2006, and after selling out shows worldwide, a DVD of the tour was announced. The DVD was released in Sweden on November 8th, 2006, and is titled Silent Shout: An Audio Visual Experience.
