Knives have unveiled the details of their debut album ‘Glitter’, set for release on May 02 via Marshall Records.

It’s set to feature the Bristol-based noise collective’s latest single ‘The Dagger’, a riotous anti-anthem addressing the cultural divide immigrants encounter upon arriving in the UK.

Speaking on the track, the band have shared:

“The lyric ‘what’s a knight to a king to a queen to a pawn’ is a crucial reference to how right-wing groups manipulate their influence over the working class, leading them to believe that immigration is to blame for their rising bills and the increase in crime… These voices seek to evade all responsibility after neglecting to lead the country for the past 14 years! This is my favourite lyric on the track, written during the rise of Islamophobia in 2024 when the horrific riots swept across the country.”

Take a listen below:

‘Glitter’ is available to preorder now.
