Apart from a few scattered remixes, a deluxe repackage, and one creepy-as-hell awards acceptance speech, we've heard nary a whisper from the Knife since 2006's mind-expanding Silent Shout and its preconception-destroying live show.

Indeed, it seems it would take an act of God to get a peep out of either of Sweden's icy synth siblings, and an act of God is just what we got-- in the form of genre-hopping Belgian mainstays dEUS. The outfit will issue Vantage Point, the follow-up to 2005's Pocket Revolution, overseas on April 21 via V2.

In addition to guest turns by Guy Garvey of Elbow and Lies Lorquet of dEUS's fellow Belgians Mintzkov, Vantage Point features vocals from the Knife's Karin Dreijer Andersson on a track called "Slow".

"She's got a unique voice and we're all really proud she delivered so passionately," writes dEUS's Tom Barman on the band's website.

Thanks to reader Jean-Yves Lestienne for the tip.

Expect a music video for "Slow" to surface shortly, and praise dEUS on the band's upcoming European tour.
