Released in 2006, 'Silent Shout' is the most iconic album from Swedish duo The Knife, consisting of siblings Karin Dreijer (aka Fever Ray) and Olof Dreijer (aka Oni Ayhun).

'Silent Shout' finds the duo honing in on a specific mood, and at last, perfecting a signature sound. As evidenced by the Chris Cunningham-esque creature adorning the promotional material and artwork of the album's debut single, the operative adjective here is "evil." Along with recent outings from Mu and Cristian Vogel, Silent Shout achieves a forbidding cold-bloodedness by melding contemporary electronic sounds with a grotesque vocal palette. Call it "haunted house."
