10
album

Joy
of
the
Return’
with
the
release
of
their
new
record
‘Knowledge
Freedom
Power’
on
February
24th,
2023.
The
Manchester
band
launch
the
album
by
sharing
its
lead
single
and
title
track.Nothing
–
not
despots,
pandemics,
self-destruction
or
the
rise
of
the
machines–can
keep
a
good
band
down.
So,
When
The
Slow
ReadersClub
hit
the
studio
in
early
2022
with
producer
Joe
Cross
(Hurts/Courteeners),
they
battled
dark
times
with
a
refreshing
optimism.
The
result
is
‘Knowledge
Freedom
Power’
,
a
sizzling
synth-rock
beast
of
a
record
akin
to
White
Lies,
Muse
and
modern-day
Bloc
Party,
and
a
rallying
cry
of
emancipation,
both
stylistically
and
socially.
It’s
a
righteous
punch
of
the
air,
a
surge
towards
the
future.Frontman
Aaron
Starkie
says,
“The
world
had
got
so
bleak
it
felt
a
little
indulgent
to
paint
apocalyptic
pictures
when
they
were
out
in
the
real
world.
I
thought
people
would
probably
want
to
hear
more
uplifting
things,
it
was
my
intention
to
be
a
bit
more
positive.
There’s
still
a
lot
of
melodrama
in
there
and
it’s
still
dystopian
in
places
but
there’s
more
positive
shades
in
this
record.”
