Young Knives release ‘Human Again’ as a digital bundle download on 30th May. The track is taken from the band’s third studio album, ‘Ornaments From The Silver Arcade’ which has been acclaimed by a diverse media with Q praising the album’s ‘abundant ideas, intriguingly and artfully put’ and The Sun suggesting ‘it’s their downright oddness that delights’. Little wonder that Artrocker, in making ‘Ornaments..’ their album of the month, celebrated the single as ‘a chart worthy slice of sixties jangle pop’ or that 6 Music made it their album of the day recently.

When the curiously monikered And So I Watch You From Afar dropped their debut record on an unsuspecting rock world they more than blew the doors off the poor little Mini Cooper, they blew it to kingdom come...and then some. You see what this band did with their self-titled debut was to release a post-rock album that was a hardcore punk album at the same time. Tracks like the blistering 'Set Guitars to kill' saw post-rock played at hardcore intensity as if that was the way the genre was born to be. Refreshing in its unique approach to what is all too often a stale genre these days, 'And So I Watch You From Afar' was rightly lavished with lashings of critical praise upon its release back in 2009. Now the band has responded to the challenge of providing a suitably monolithic second album in typically confident fashion.
