Tomorrow, In A Year is a remarkably difficult listen, but it’s also, to my mind, the most rewarding release of the year thus far

Tomorrow, In A Year provides a complex view of The Knife as unmatched in their daring, their music quite defying categorisation as one species or another

The Irish Times
Over two CDs, the ensemble generate and develop a Philip Glass-like cycle of abstract noise and songs that really do get beneath your skin. A strangely compelling release

The Knife, bringing their own dancefloor vernacular to a classical setting, have done something pretty exciting

The Knife deserve full kudos for characteristically challenging the norm, for daringly and successfully tackling unfamiliar territory and subsequently breaking new ground and most of all for bringing us with them

The uninterrupted stretch of "Pigeons" into "Seeds" is the only moment on Tomorrow, in a Year where this is recognizably the work of the Knife, and not coincidentally it's the most thrilling and vital music on the record

It might prove hard for anyone but the most diehard Knife fans to sit through an entire album of this music... But it's evident that those involved have succeeded in creating something unique and boldly experimental

This radical opera crackles with genius and creativity, even if it does upset the traditionalists. Darwin would approve

There are interesting notions in this idea and in the different forms Tomorrow, In a Year can take, but I don’t find their aggregate effect dazzling; I find it stultifying

Turn to the last third of the album if you want to hear the icy dance floor detachment familiar to all fans of the Knife... The rest of the record remains an unfathomable mystery, just like the band themselves

"Colouring of Pegeons"...could easily be counted among the top tracks The Knife has ever created...most likely it'll be the only track you'll be interested in keeping around

An endless prog desert where nothing happens at all until the fantastically weird but wonderful 11-minute epic that is ‘Colouring Of Pigeons’
