Synopsis

Product Description
After wowing audiences on both sides of the Atlantic, the clever, respectably dressed lads behind hit UK trio Young Knives are releasing Superabundance, the sequel to last year's Silver Certified, Mercury Prize nominated debut, Voice of Animals and Men. A muscular clatter of pulsing guitars, head spinning percussive thuds and harmonic brotherly vocals provide the backbone to their rich tales of eccentricities and angst. Superabundance is a huge progression for Young Knives, from the elevating neon blitz of first single Terra Firma, to the Bond movie massiveness of the epic, stand out track, Turn Tail. US version includes 6 bonus tracks not found on the import.

CD Reviews

Excellent Indie Pop With an Edge
Gianmarco Manzione | Tampa, FL USA | 06/09/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is rife with excellent indie pop that's not afraid to roughen its edges now and then with tougher tracks like "Up All Night"-a kind of exceedingly English Hot Hot Heat-but only kind of. Speaking of which, this is perhaps the most shamelessly English group since Syd Barrett was cutting tracks like "Astronomy Domine" with Pink Floyd-"Knives" is British for "Knaves," for instance, which is exactly how they got their band name. These tweed-clad Brits made a rather auspicious entry onto the scene by declaring themselves "Dead" on their debut EP, "The Young Knives . . . Are Dead." But they're not, you see. Last year they were nominated for the really important-sounding "Nationwide Mercury Prize," and now they're giving geek rock a good name with this truly fantastic new CD. Don't miss out--this one promises to make many "Best Of" lists in 2008.
