Kneecap return and they're as confrontational as you'd expect. The West Belfast trio have always thrived on friction, and with Fenian, their grip on sound and language tightens. Arriving in the shadow of renewed pressure from the British state, Kneecap turn political pressure into creative voltage with balanced fury through a collision of rap, acid house, trip-hop, dubstep and dub-inflected electronica. Produced by Dan Carey (Fontaines D.C., Black Midi), Fenian is another middle-finger to the man, but this time they've got the following to see it through. - Flying Out
KNEECAPreturn to bend genre, language, and rules. The most talked about artists in the world are turning the page. A new chapter, new sounds, new manifestos.
A blistering album that revels in darkness while bursting through the void with illuminated revery. This isFENIAN.
Produced byDan Carey (Fontaines D.C.,Kae Tempest,Wet Leg),FENIANupends expectations with an expansive sonic palate, traversing acid house, trip-hop, dubstep, and more - Masters of rave and rap theatre,FENIAN represents Kneecap’s most sophisticated exploration of language and sounds.
More darkness. More confrontation. More craic. More energy. More solidarity. More absolute bangers. And more fuel for the unrelenting engine that powers this unstoppable force. For their remarkable second album, Kneecap have come out fighting.
Throughout, the sirens and alarms ring, and the chorus’s blast. Revolutionary and rebellious, confrontational and impossibly catchy, inescapably intelligent and brilliantly rendered,FENIANdoesn’t just represent the next phase in Kneecap’s trajectory but stands as a remarkable record that thrills as much as it surprises. The mayhem of their breakout year is a memory now. But Kneecap are neither dwelling on that nor merely persevering through it. InFENIANthey excel, reaching a new peak that is undeniable in its mastery.
Pressure makes diamonds, andFENIAN glistens with Kneecap’s uncut gems.
