The Knife have recorded alternative versions, more closely aligned to the band’s live performances, to coincide with their North American tour. They will release them on an EP called Shaken-Up Versions on June 16th through Rabid/Brille/Mute digitally with CDs and Vinyl versions to follow.
The alternative version of ‘Without You My Life Would Be Boring’ is out today accompanied by three remixes from Rroxymore, J. Phlip and Kat Knix. There’s also that off-kilter harsh lit hospital ward music video by Bitte Andersson up top.
