Silent Shout is the third full length album (not including the Hannah med H Soundtrack) by Swedish electropop duo The Knife, released initially in Sweden on February 15, 2006, then for the rest of Europe the following month on Rabid Records. The album was released in the U.S. on July 25 via Mute Records. Silent Shout is a darker album than its predecessor Deep Cuts[1]. The album has produced four singles: "Silent Shout", "Marble House", "We Share Our Mothers' Health" and "Like a Pen".
After being awarded "Best New Music" status by the influential online magazine Pitchfork Media in February of 2006, Silent Shout was later named Pitchfork Media's top album of 2006 [2], with the title song being ranked the #2 song of the year[3].
The album, the music video for the title track and some of the press photos were inspired by Black Hole by American cartoonist Charles Burns. [1]
Mute Records has plans to release a deluxe, three-disc edition of Silent Shout on May 8, 2007. This package will include the album, the live DVD Silent Shout: An Audio Visual Experience, all of the duo's music videos to date, and the audio from the live DVD.
