New Orleans brothers Kyle and Kody Valentine are The Holy Knives. Their latest single, ‘Always Gone’, is remixed by the legendary Jamie Hince of The Kills.
Frontman Kody, beds his vocals in somewhere between gloomy glory of The National’s Matt Berninger and the husky drawl of Nick Cave. All the while, their guitars re-create the Western styles of Ennio Morricone (God rest his soul) via Portishead’s 4am misadventures.
Instant images of smoke filled pubs and shady characters are built on this single. A bright and cinematic future lies ahead for these brothers.
