The Velveteers – A Million Knives
The Velveteers have released their new album A Million Knives today via Easy Eye Sound. The 13-song collection finds the Colorado trio – featuring tour-de-force frontwoman Demi Demitro on vocals and baritone guitar, backed by dual drummers Baby Pottersmith and Jonny Fig on a conjoined kit – pursuing rock n’ roll’s non-binary, queer and female-fronted future.
Demitro penned A Million Knives with her bandmates after a particularly grueling stretch of life on the road, as a way to process feeling used and fed up in the face of vulnerability. The album examines the typically-unspoken tolls of navigating a system that’s often far from compassionate. The Valentine’s day release also fittingly “explores the different forms of heartbreak,” as Demitro recently described in a conversation with Billboard. Today, The Velveteers point to “Take It From The Top” – a song the trio says is “inspired by someone who desperately wants to be liked and loved but in turn is lonely in their pursuits of success.”
On A Million Knives, The Velveteers collaborate with multi-time GRAMMY-winning producer and The Black Keys lead singer Dan Auerbach.
