Last report I saw just said they were working on it. No ETA or release has been given, yet.

It's like this thread blew its load a little too early
Edit: Much like Kayne's set
Let's bring this shit back up. All those masks being worn as these hit the stage, GOD, PLEASE LET THE KNIFE BE ON THE LINEUP!
Support.
With no release date or update on the new album, I'm losing hope!
I NEED FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IN 2012.
Lykke Li (who'm I believe is unofficially confirmed to be on the Coachella roster this year) performed a thoroughly surprising and enjoyable cover of The Knife at her recent SF show. Just saying, in case the real deal don't make it this year, and although I am well aware there is no substitute, whatever stage or tent she is playing will go off when she performs this with her band!
the knife for any year of coachella IMO, even passed years, in order to play them they would time travel, and it would be added to our collective memories.
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!
i really wish there were some vocals in that video. im gonna look for that now....
No shit. I hear nothing.
I have two wishes for 2012. 1. The Knife. 2. The Avalanches. I will be satisfied with one of two being there. If both are there, I would have to recalibrate myself on new music options. GV, please provide us with the rare performance of The Knife. Karin & Olof 4 Coachella 2012!!!!
They did say they were recording an album due out in 2012. This is from their wikipedia page, and should be taken as such. Yet, it is a glimmer of hope.
News of a new album in 2012 was posted on the official site back in April. Not a word about it since, though.
I'm holding out for that album; I think they both put out their creative efforts on their own. Now they should be charged and ready to play together.
It DOES say "Open To Ideas" on the Windish avails sheet. Only artist updated for 2012, in fact... Isn't Windish exclusive to the US, as well?

It can happen.
omg there's just been too much crushingblows being applied lately
APHEX TWIN ALSO OPEN TO IDEAS
The Knife's listing has always said "open to ideas."
I very clearly recall it saying "Not Available" before. I couldn't tell you when it changed, but I would imagine it probably happened when the year was updated. I've been watching for awhile to see if anyone else gets updated for '12 but they're the only ones so far.
Why doesn't someone just call them and see if you can book them during the weekend of Coachella. You could say you represent the Pawnee Harvest Festival....
