Deep Cuts is the second studio album by Swedish electronic music duo The Knife, released on 17 January 2003 by Rabid Records. The 2004 version contains three additional tracks (taken from Hannah med H Soundtrack) and is packaged with a DVD of music videos. On 31 October 2006, Mute Records issued Deep Cuts and The Knife's eponymous debut album in the United States, marking the first US release of both albums.

Critical reception

Upon release, the album received critical acclaim. Hot Press compared it to a "soundtrack to a futuristic film that was made in the ’80s", saying that "the synths, the drum machines and even the vocals – are distinctly retro but always put to imaginative use." Karin's way of singing was described as "mix of subtlety and parody".[12]

Q included Deep Cuts at number 56 on their Top 100 Albums of the 2000s list in 2009.[13]

In 2013, Swedish magazine Sonic placed the album at number four on their list of the 100 Best Swedish Albums Ever. The list was compiled by 150 musicians, journalists and music industry insiders.[14]
