The Knife are working on a new album for release in 2012.

The announcement of new material, made via their website, was somewhat secondary in a post about housing rights of Romani people in Europe. The update reads:

"The Knife is now recording a new album to be released in 2012

Lately we have read a lot about the ongoing discrimination of Romani people in Europe which is totally unacceptable. The forced evictions must stop and adequate alternative housing must be arranged. Now!

We would like to ask you to make two postcards to take action for the Roma housing rights in Rome:

And sign the petitions:

Here’s some information in Swedish:

The Knife are electronic musicians from Sweden.  It is great to have entertainers taking on the blatant racism against Romani people. 
Makes me want to thank Madonna all over again.
People are asking Miley Cyrus to raise the issue during her "Gypsy Heart" tour.  She's stated that she wants to use her concerts to spread "love", but so far she's not responded to requests that she address the situation of the Romani. What better opportunity for her than during her GYPSY heart tour.  Hmmmmm
