The Knife: "Full Of Fire" Video

Bondage and public urination aplenty in the mini-movie of a new video from The Knife.

Oof, I was worried Swedish mentalists, The Knife, may never return. But they're back and as unstable as ever, with the new video for "Full Of Fire". The internetz lost their shit over a snippet of the track after it appeared briefly online and heralded in a kind of techno, even colder sound for the duo.

ANYWAY, after that 30 second tease the full track clocks in at nine minutes long, with the accompanying video going from normal-The-Knife levels of weird into the most unsettling mini-movie ever. It's filled to the rafters with tits, light bondage, cross dressing and pissing in the street, so just a normal weekend for me, but noted director Marit Östberg mused:

"Who takes care of our stories when the big history, written by straight rich white men, erase the complexity of human's lives, desires and conditions? The film ‘Full of Fire’ consists of a network of fates, fears, cravings, longings, losses, and promises. Fates that at first sight seem isolated from each other, but if we pay attention, we can see that everything essentially moves into each other.

Our lives are intertwined and our eyes on each other, our sounds and smells, mean something. Our actions create reality, we create each other. We are never faceless, not even in the most grey anonymous streets of the city. We will never stop being responsible, being extensions, of one another. We will never stop longing for each other, and for something else."

I feel you, bruh.
