Young Knives - Low Carol

**YOUNG KNIVES VIDEO PREMIERE**

“When we originally asked people to submit a Christmas song, we really didn’t know what on earth we were going to get, or if we would even like it. When I first listened to Low Carol, one of the very earliest tracks we got to hear, I was instantly blown away. Unsettling proggy harmony and dischord, almost traditional but underpinned by mind-altering synths, and including what sounds like a small animal breathing a death-rattle, this song is an eerie and haunting triumph. The video is something else entirely. Enjoy!” Mary Epworth

Christmas Joy In Full Measure

Another great review for CJIFM!

"Billing themselves as ‘The World’s Greatest Record Label’ is something to live up to but Hand Of Glory have certainly given it all that they’ve got. Christmas Joy In Full Measure brings together twelve artists, each with an original seasonal song to give one of the most eclectic alternative Xmas albums you’ll probably hear" ;)

Sunday Times review!

The idea of Christmas not as a sentiment-soaked season of precision-bomb supermarket ads and ruinous household debt, but as an all but forgotten pre-Christian pagan ritual of ancient mysticism and bracing oddness, is explored on this wonderfully strange album. Standouts include the Count of Chateau Noir’s sinister, Bontempi-driven Awake Awake and Young Knives’ sepulchral Low Carol. Best of all are Aliens Pat’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Santa Fell Down the Chimney (the couplet is completed by “Broke his neck and died”, and that’s it), and the p***y thrash of Jon Epworth’s raging, ramshackle Atheist. Alternative doesn’t even come into it. DC

Merry Music - Echo Magazine

http://echomag.com/merry-music/ Thank you Cait Brennan for this great review in Echo!

"This new compilation features Christmas delights from some of the United Kingdom’s finest new artists, and it’s not to be missed. Among the many treasures here are “On Christmas Day” from the magnificent Citizen Helene, The Webb Brothers’ a pop marvel “Are You Coming Home For Christmas?” and the astonishing Mary Epworth’s “The Wolf And The Woods.” Epworth’s 2012 album Dream Life is a contender for the decade’s best, and her “sparkly Saturnalian disco” (that’s her label’s own description, and it fits) is welcome all year round. Eclectic, daring and enjoyable seasonal songs from Kiran Leonard, Young Knives and Papernut Cambridge are among the other standout tracks. "

Six reasons to celebrate not-so-silent nights this season By Cait Brennan – Dec. 4, 2014 It’s one of the great dividing hot-button issues of our times — holiday music. How early is too early? How much is too much? Can anyone stand “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer”? One thing’s for sure, though: W…

First review is in! 10/10 from the Scunthorpe Telegraph!

"CHRISTMAS JOY IN FULL MEASURE” - VARIOUS ARTISTS
Ten out of 10 for originality.The album is based on 12 diverse acts from Extradition Order to The Webb Brothers (son of Jimmy, not the Scunthorpe family) recording their own Yuletide songs. Proving Christmas means different things to different people, The tracks cover subjects like ghosts in Warrington pubs, owls, stag and wolves, ultimate gluttony and atheism. A real Christmas cracker! 10/10."
