    Young Knives will thrill the faithful, but the lapsed should consider a catch-up, too. [Mar 2025, p.105]

    Curlicues of psychedelia also lap intermittently at the edges, once again making for a gloriously idiosyncratic listen. [Jan 2025, p.41]

    As they sing in the closing track Fresh Meat, “the past is catching up again”, and maybe its that sense of time moving so quickly that makes this chaotic, exhilarating and often perplexing album such a compelling listen.

    Sometimes, maybe, it sounds like they are trying just a little bit too hard. There’s a certain self-consciousness pervading the record. .... Having said that, Young Knives are confident enough in their own skin to know that just because a musical element may not be “needed”, we would all be much emptier without it.
