Young Knives by Ian Wallman
Young Knives will play some intimate live shows in September to mark the release.
Young Knives have announced the reissue of their first two studio albums Voices Of Animals And Men and Superabundance on September 1st.
Both have been remastered and are to come with a bonus disc made up from the band’s extensive collection of B-sides…“I don’t remember being in this band but I do like some of the tunes on these records,” Henry Dartnall said.
Some of the B-sides are really great. One positive aspect of not remembering anything is that we can now listen as music lovers rather than with the hyper-critical ear of tormented artists. Doing a re-release of the early stuff is all the rage but getting all misty eyed about the past is a drag. But the Universe thought it was important enough to allow these tunes to reach the wider public at the time and in amongst all the showing off and self-congratulatory larking about I think there is something beautiful to connect with on these records. We hope that whoever’s ears pass across them also finds some light and joy in them to celebrate now, and not just an echo of the past.
“It also seems like a great excuse for the current band who seemingly share the same name as this band, to perform in public. So we will do that with a respectful nod to the past and a louder celebratory howl to the present moment.”
