Literate observers of love, life and modern Britain, The Young Knives are not merely urgent, angry young men, they are capable of crafting alluring ballads and brooding mid-paced mope-Rock of the most stunning kind too, as demonstrated on this, their debut album. The jerky, whip-cracking Disco-Punk energy of 'Weekends And Bleak Days (Hot Summer)' and the pile-driving Art Punk of 'Here Comes the Rumour Mill', you already know from their single incarnations. But, they only tell half the story. Placed alongside the neat, summery swoon-pop of 'Hollow Line' or the mordant, beautiful 'Trembling of Trails', they reveal The Young Knives to be a band of many diverse talents. The Young Knives: sharp young blades with a steely resolve. 14 tracks. 2006.
