Young Knives - Dyed In The Wool

As the main, if not only band championing the "geek rock" label, Young Knives (now without the 'the') have decided to enhance this image by releasing thier latest single as a download only. Though it might have been a good idea to not release it on the digital medium either. Since i got my hands on a copy of "Voices of Animals and Men", I've always supported Young Knives and thought, as great as thier image is, theyv'e never let it eclipse thier music. However with this song maybe it does. Dyed In The Wool seems as considered as thier video suggests.

The epic 9 minutes 25 seconds of thier video is probably the best bit about this single, though possibly is symbolic that less than a third of this is concerened with the song, whilst the rest rambles on about crisps, tampolines and tea! Overall this isnt a bad song, but its just not what I and so many other people have come to expect from this band. It seems very much like a simple song they did indeed put together whilst paying more attention to thier cup of tea.

Instead of downloading this song, I would suggest watching the video which is here
