#skoaradio 10/31/2015 liner notes

When a new song comes out of nowhere and suddenly becomes your favorite.

Happy Halloween broadband buds!
Gotta say, the jams in this week's #skoaradio are so good it's SCARY! hahahaha oh boy am I bad at #relevantcontent sometimes but WE'RE HERE TO TALK MUSIC ANYWAYS SO WHATEVER. I dug up some spooktacular new tunes this week from Sinden, The 1975, Jamie Woon, MALAA, and more so it's a pretty damn good mixtape if I do say so myself. Lots of new music out this week so I hope you weren't planning on buying your family any expensive Christmas gifts because you're about to exceed your budget on music for the zillionth time.

Don't forget you can grab the Spotify playlist at the bottom of this post so you can treasure the order I painstakingly put these songs in. Or you can hit shuffle. Whatever.

Until next week!

<3

[Watch] The Knife - "Full of Fire" (Official Video)

It all got a bit out of hand last week with regards to this track. First it appeared online, only to be promptly removed and then re-upped numerous times. We've all seen it happen a thousand plus times and I understand that artists want us to hear tracks in the quality they intended them to be heard. At the same time though, as fans, we always want everything right fucking now so we we can understand why we all get a little over zealous and rip radio premieres etc. So, what's the track in question? The Knife's "Full of Fire", our first taste of what's to come from their upcoming long-player, Shaking the Habitual. The track is a glitch filled 9 minute romp that's been paired up with a cinematic visual from Marit Østberg. Chances are you're still thawing out from the bitterly cold weekend so why not shake off the remaining frost, stop what you're currently doing, take ten minutes from your day and hit play above.

The new album from The Knife is set to hit shelves until the 8th of April 8th in the UK/Europe and the following day in North America via Brille/Mute Records.
