“Her New Knife crank out brilliantly tense songs that bite with post-hardcore snarl.”

- NME

“Focuses on the beauty found in the weirder, darker, experimental throes of guitar music.”

- THE FADER

“Toes the line between melodic and uneasy.”

- STEREOGUM

“A deeply compelling prospect in their own godless right."

- SO YOUNG MAGAZINE

“Every chance they get, Her New Knife chooses to go darker, bolder, and weirder.”

- POST-TRASH

Philadelphia band Her New Knife are excited to share the latest preview of chrome is lullaby: re, a deluxe version of their 2024 EP featuring remixes from TAGABOW, Angel Emoji (Frost Children), Grimace, Red Rakes, Certain (Sword II), and SILICONE VALLEY, arriving everywhere October 31, 2025 via the tastemaking Philly label Julia’s War Recordings. For the first time ever, the standout EP will be available on vinyl and cassette with the remixes appearing on the B-side; pre-orders are live now.  

“vesselera - SILICONE VALLEY: re,” arrives today, subverting the delicate swirls of guitars in the original mix and introducing techno soundscapes to the mix. “Just like your birthday, we’ll do it again,” Edgar Atencio sings over pulsating synths, as sound is pushed to its limit.

"I met Luc [SILICONE VALLEY] shortly after moving to Philly, and I believe he is a musical genius," Atencio explains. "The way he writes and arranges his songs is so dynamic- especially the drums. I think having him work on this remix was a no-brainer. Love him forever 1 million."

“I love songs about keeping secrets & 'vesselera' is my favorite from Her New Knife," says SILICONE VALLEY. "I feel like we both write in the same tone but with different aesthetics. When they sent me the stems to work on, I found all of these beautiful acoustic guitar layers hidden under everything. I made sure to make some room for those in the remix and built around it with the MS-20 (best synth of all time). You can get some really cracked-out tones with the filters on that thing that reminded me a lot of Ben’s guitar in the OG song. I like how the pitched-down vocals sound like they are coming out of a breathing tube, and I can finally play this song in the club. Shout out HNK one time.”

PRE-ORDER CHROME IS LULLABY: RE

The deluxe EP was announced last month with “kittyriff - They Are Gutting A Body Of Water: re” in which Julia’s War labelhead and TAGABOW bandleader Doug Dulgarian contorted the bone-shattering riffage of the original track into a blown-out, drum-heavy track that slinks slowly into the abyss. Atencio’s caressing vocals are sampled with a metallic edge, cutting through the song’s laidback progression with precision. Dulgarian also made an official video for the track, which premiered alongside the release.

This summer, the band shared their version of Björk’s “Pagan Poetry.” A guitar-forward take on the fan-favorite track off Björk’s 2001 record Vespertine, the cover sees the band infuse discordant instrumentation into a deeply emotional soundscape. Her New Knife strives for sonic innovation, turning a familiar track into a completely new experience. Last year, Her New Knife shared their six-song EP, chrome is lullaby, featuring quickly rising songs like “kittyriff” and “vitamin beauty.” The release was widely acclaimed by The FADER, Post-Trash, Stereogum and NME, the latter of which added them to the NME100, declaring the band as one to watch for 2025. The group is currently working on their debut album, expected to be released in 2026.
