England's The Young Knives are an odd lot: twitchy and self-aware but also intent on delivering solid melodies amid the weird bits.
Check out this free MP3 from the band's latest album, Ornaments From The Silver Arcade. On "Woman" there are traces of Marc Almond on the vocals, horns from mid-1980s-era Peter Gabriel, and a touch of Frankie Goes To Hollywood in the melody.
That sounds like an unholy mess but it works. You can download the song below.
