# The Knife working on new album
After five years of keeping us waiting siblings **Karin Dreijer
Andersson** and **Olof Dreijer** have finally announced they are working
on a new album as **The Knife** -- due to be released sometime in 2012.
According to their [website][1]{: target="_blank" .xmlblocklink} the duo
are currently recording the follow-up to *Silent Shout*, which set the
modern standard for cold-blooded synth-music with creepy vocals.
In the same post the duo mentions their worries about \"the ongoing
discrimination of Romani people in Europe\", a situation which is
\"totally unacceptable\", and encourages everybody to take action for
the Roma people's housing rights in Rome by signing [these][2]{:
target="_blank" .xmlblocklink} two petitions by Amnesty International.
It's not yet clear whether their new album deals with these issues or if
it's just a personal concern for The Knife.
Either way we're looking forward to hearing some new material.
