Since The Knife isn't releasing anything new anytime soon (Update: I stand corrected!) and there is a huge void in my life of things Karin Dreijer Andersson-related since attending the mind blowing Fever Ray concert last year, Data Airlines' chiptune covers of The Knife will have to do for now.
Covered tracks include all of your The Knife classics, including "Marble House", "Silent Shout", and naturally, "Heartbeats". I'm sampling the album as we speak, but so far it's sounding good. I'll admit, I miss hearing Andersson's voice over some of the tracks, but that's okay. Plus, download is free. Joy! Rapture! Fill your ears now.
A sample, you ask? How about this:

Not releasing anything soon? What about The Knife's, in collaboration with Mount Sims, commissioned opera about Charles Darwin? Only a month and a half away! http://soundcloud.com/theknife/colouring-of-pigeons

I don't suppose you have (or can easily get) an RSS feed, so I can catch your posts in a more timely manner? ^_^

You should be able to just insert my URL in a feed reader and get updates... but if not let me know (you can email me :) I hope there's not a problem with my RSS feed! That would make a .tiff pretty sad panda.
