“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 announce 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.  


The first preview of chrome is lullaby: re arrives today in the form of “kittyriff - They Are Gutting a Body of Water: re,” in which Julia’s War labelhead and TAGABOW bandleader Doug Dulgarian contorts the bone-shattering riffage of the original track into a blown-out, drum-heavy track that slinks slowly into the abyss. Edgar 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 premieres today. 


"kittyriff has always been one of my favorite songs of ours," says drummer Elijah Ford."When we thought of having a bunch of friends remix the ‘chrome is lullaby’ tracks, Doug was the first person we thought of. We’ve always wanted to work with him in some capacity, so it’s super cool to have him not only do the remix but also direct the accompanying music video. Doug has really been a huge part of our lives up here in Philly - he totally transformed the song into a beautiful trip hop banger - and for that - I love him forever."

PRE-ORDER CHROME IS LULLABY: RE

Earlier 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.

ABOUT HER NEW KNIFE:

Her New Knife is an alternative band based out of Philadelphia, PA. The group's members include Edgar Atencio (guitar and vocals), Ben Kachler (guitar), Carolina Schooley (bass), and Elijah Ford (drums). The band's recent EP, chrome is lullaby, captures a raw, vulnerable allure, offering fans of shoegaze and post-punk a profound connection to their unique sound. Their live performances are a mesmerizing experience, where scraping guitars and relentless, machine-like drums create an atmosphere that is both intense and ephemeral. Each show is an oblique journey, drawing the audience into fleeting and intimate moments.
