Commissioned by Danish theater group Hotel Pro Forma, the album is a sprawling, experimental work defined more by ambient synth hum and field-recording rustle than by melodic hooks or danceable grooves. The Knife wrote and recorded the 90-minute piece in collaboration with underground electronic acts Mt. Hooks and grooves do crop up occasionally, as heard on "Seeds," a supremely lonely-sounding avant-house jam, and the 11-minute "Colouring of Pigeons," where the musicians marry moaning strings to ominous tribal drums.
Sims and Planningtorock also do some heavy lifting here, with distinctive contributions that ground the Knife’s off-kilter approach to rhythm in instruments that are perhaps more familiar to the opera audience. With a sonic palette that is endlessly complex and varied, and a take on opera that balances respect and irreverence for expectations, Tomorrow stands as a singular accomplishment of composition and performance. The question that hangs over the project, then, is whether or not it works on a level other than that of a clinical academic remove. Beam says collaboration drove everything here, starting with the track sequence: There were thematic elements going on in the songs chosen for the album. And so, in putting the sequence together I really wanted to feel like we kept sort of passing the baton around.
