Knife Bride announce new EP ‘sorry about the plague’
KNIFE BRIDE have announced a brand new EP!
The Brighton‑based quartet have announced their brand new self‑released EP sorry about the plague, which is set for release on April 24th. The EP arrives as the band prepare to take their chaotic, theatrical live show back on the road, supporting CALVA LOUISE across the UK in April and May.
To coincide with the announcement, the band have released their new single crucify, which is the second single to be released from the upcoming EP, following on from alone at the altar, which was released in November last year.
Vocalist Mollie Clack says crucify “is a conversation with myself – a ruthless interrogation of a past version of me. A public trial of someone who made mistakes that I’ve struggled to forgive. The song attempts to expose how easy it is to obsess over appearances – to decorate the house and call it a home, while the foundations quietly crumble beneath us. At its core, it’s a reflection on self-destructive behaviour and the ways we sabotage parts of our lives.
The line, ‘life gave me lemons, I made poison,’ aims to capture the idea that sometimes we don’t just mishandle what we’re given – we actively ruin it. There’s also a nod to PARAMORE in the lyric, ‘I’m in the business of destroying everything,’ referencing Misery Business – a song the band stepped back from performing because of its more problematic lines. That reference is intentional. It’s a reminder that we can be flawed and messy and that reckoning with that truth is part of being human rather than self-censoring.”
