The Knife is a swedish electronic duo formed in 1999. The band consists of siblings karin dreijer andersson (formerly of Honey is Cool, now Fever Ray) 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. Recently the group has showed themselves in public wearing masks formed as bird’s beaks, similar to those used by medieval doctors.
The Knife won a Swedish Grammy award for 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, apparently as a protest against male dominance within the music industry. Their album Deep Cuts was also nominated for a Swedish Grammy 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.

Olof said it'd be a three year hiatus in 2006, meaning new stuff very soon surely? I can imagine they're just going to not mention anything, then BAM, drop another storming classic. Surely they can't beat Silent Shout though can they?

deep cuts is also great, but I feel like they tried to do a little bit too much with it... the strong songs are REALLY strong, but the weak songs are also pretty glaring. silent shout is shorter but higher quality overall, simply due to less "filler" when compared to deep cuts.
