The Knife Remixed by Dave Sitek, Booka Shade

Cutlery item of choice for the discerning gift-giver
The Knife Remixed by Dave Sitek, Booka Shade As mentioned just before the holidays, the Knife-- who straight slaughtered our year-end lists, scoring number one album honors and landing two songs among the top 15 tracks of 2006-- have another Silent Shout single on the way. It might be their third, fourth, or eleventh, depending on where you live and how the zodiac is feeling that day.

"Marble House", a duet between Karin Dreijer and guest co-writer Jay-Jay Johanson-- and perhaps Silent Shout's most accessible offering-- arrives February 19 in the UK courtesy of Brille Records. It's a significantly more beefed-up version of the "Marble House" singles issued in Sweden last year (via the Knife's own Rabid Records), collecting the previously released Booka Shade, Rex the Dog, and Planningtorock remixes of the song along with reworkings from the Emperor Machine and TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek. 

UPDATE: The EP will be out in the U.S. on February 20. 

Last but certainly not least, Brille has designs on a deluxe re-release of Silent Shout in the near future. Details forthcoming.
