The new album from Young Knives, Superabundance is bigger, more beautiful, bracing, and more direct and compelling than ever, the sound of a band not only enhancing the dexterity, eclecticism and integrity of their debut, but redefining the stakes of what the band is, dispensing a wider set of tools, and deriving from a greater, more vivid pool of inspiration. Hence a name change to accommodate this landmark. It’s no longer The Young Knives. Young Knives are not a ‘The’ band anymore.
Constantly evolving, consistently shifting, always appealing, Young Knives’ comeback is the most important and influential of our decade so far, a band destined to redefine genres, better lives, and – for the first time with this album – touch its listeners. Lord knows where we’ll all end up next.
Young Knives are brothers Henry Dartnall, Thomas Dartnall and original school-friend Oliver Askew.
