The Knocks/Dragonette - Revelation

[FetchFugly]

After One On One, which was a late highlight of 2023, The Knocks now have something in the works with Dragonette:



It sounds like three different songs... hopefully at least one of them reaches the heights of Slow Song.

 

[Pipo]

Slow Song was an absolute banger.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Is it still Martina solo calling herself Dragonette? I wasn’t keen on the last album which was her on her own.

 

[Pipo]

Speaking of Martina, I just checked Dua's Wiki entry for the Training Session single and it lists her as a co-writer on it but when you go to the whole album article her name has been wiped out entirely oh my

Did they lose the “sample”

 

[straightorbroken]

Pleased for Martina to hopefully get some good material again as the one woman moniker outing didn't live up to the previous form.

Did they lose the “sample”

aw man, I thought she did nab a real co-writing credit; the "sample" is ridiculous, it all reeks of a similar Cruel Summer/Deja Vu situation

If anything, Tokyo Nights should credit M83's Midnight City.

Well this appears to have been all tease and no delivery but The Knocks have offered up a new track this week:

 

[FetchFugly]

Still no sign of the promised Dragonette collaborations, but there is another new song out this week and it sounds very promising and it is with YELLE:

 

[FetchFugly]

And a tune it is:



I just get what I want

 

[FetchFugly]

Some love for Yelle's head bobbing and general solo frolicking in the theatre.

 

[FetchFugly]

Apparently still coming:

 

[FetchFugly]

The teasing for this has been ridiculous but something is finally happening:



Obviously I haven't called

 

[straightorbroken]

How could it possibly top Alexianette's super sensory song?

 

[FetchFugly]

Revelation is finally out tomorrow. It better be bloody marvellous after this endless saga:



Looks like nine tracks to come.

 

[FetchFugly]

In the same style as Slow Song but not quite as good on initial listening:

 

[FetchFugly]

Pretty glorious

Another song:



Album 6th June:
https://theknocks.merchtable.com/music/revelation-vinyl-lp

1. Revelation
2. Love Me Alive
3. Foolish Pleasure
4. The Hero
5. Keynote Address
6. Friday Night
7. Dreams
8. Thorn
9. Let My Love Open The Door

I like all three songs so far, even though none can touch Slow Song (or One On One, or All the Time/Tout le temps probably too).

 

[Jark]

Dreams is some lovely bubblegum

 

[FetchFugly]

They are continuing to burn through the pre-release tracks. Thorn is very good though:
