About this album
This is the music we made for the opera “Tomorrow, in a Year”, commissioned by Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma. The work is based off of Charles Darwin’s On the origin of the species, his notebooks and other randomly selected Darwin related literature and articles, for example The Selfish Gene and The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins, Annie’s Box by Randal Keynes, How to Read Darwin by Mark Ridley, and Emma Darwin: The Inspirational Wife of a Genius by Edna Healy.
This is a studio version of the piece with slight differences and variations from the performed opera. In the current performed version all vocals are sung by mezzo soprano Kristina Wahlin Momme, actress Laerke Winther and pop singer Jonathan Johanson.
Originally The Knife were commissioned to make the music, but to try out a more collaborative way of working they invited Mt. Sims and Planningtorock . Not only to have a more fun and interesting process but also to capture the huge width of the theme Darwin and evolution. What we found most interesting about Darwin was his way of describing evolution in a non hierarchical way. Never using the word evolution, he instead chose to write about “variation” or “descent with modification”. Another fascinating thing when reading his journals is how necessary it was for him to not only question everything around him, but also himself in order to formulate his theories.

Annie's box is the incredible synthesis of fragility, of weeping in amorous, ambiguous motion. And its resolution swirls and swirls and leaves you helpless, blind, in bliss. This isn't popular structure, or even The Knife anymore, not then. Not in that composition. This is development, this is mastery, this is a collaboration of pure genius. Rarely do you hear beauty as immaculate as a sheer minute of those strings, floating as air. Not even in most of Mozart or Bach, their music is too programmatic. This is genius.

lol..all those animals masks, fetishism & totems, & weirdly kinda crowleyian drama atmospheres -for the connoisseurs^-..obviously immediately loved&praised by the the critics for sure^..to finish with an apologia of darwin evolution of species?! Did they sing also about his original racial&eugenists theories (so loved & funded by XIXth m*sons..would be a hit hey!), that inspired many great men too later (like uk/us eugenists before nazis..& a crowley too later, obviously/)..(pun intended)..just to be really a little educational & original again?!.._that_ would be subversive imo^^ but i guess they must have slipped that passage too..have they? what, would not have been politically correct, that, oh..damn, why that?..to illustrate darwinism is always so cool.*) hey, let's be shocking for the masses..without the feathers..ok..where is my altar, we have some little children to frighten to death again, Crowley style//would fit perfectly..thx The Knife!^ k, waiting for the next 1 now.. :*/)

People need to know that experimental isnt all about buzzing beats and electronic sequences. This album is completely outrageous and its sounds are incredibly powerful and natural. Beautiful.

4/10: Tries too hard to be experimental and eerie. Gets predictable with its blatant un-melodic tendencies, boring percussion, and uninspiring textures (mixed with a hefty dose of opera). Audacious, especially considering The Knife/Mt. Sims/Planningtorock's previous work... but ultimately sounds half-assed... and a bit pretentious. Best: Colouring of Pigeons, The Height of Summer, Annie's Box, Letters to Henslow. Worst: Minerals, Ebbe Tide Explorer, Seeds, Tomorrow in a Year
