Indie three-piece The Young Knives have announced their return by streaming a new track on their official website.
Called ‘I Love My Name‘, the song is taken from the sessions for their forthcoming third studio album, the first release since 2008’s ‘Superabundance‘.
Commenting on the new material, singer Henry Dartnall said: “This last year we have been writing and demoing songs for a third album. We wanted to give you a taster of the new material by putting up one of the demos. The song is called ‘I Love My Name’, it’s sort of a song about how a name is one of the only things that you really have all your life, everything else about you moves and changes.
As we were writing this song we realised that it had a bit of a R&B vibe, so when we were demoing it we tried to enhance that sound. This is not the finished version and it may not even make it on to the album but we thought you would like to hear it. Hope you are all well. Keep the faith.”
The band released their debut album ‘Voices of Animals and Men‘ in August 2006, which was subsequently nominated for the 2007 Mercury Music Prize.
