Young knives fit 4 u album version


Superabundance is the second full-length album by Young Knives, released in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2008. The album reached number twenty-eight in the UK Album Charts.

Contents

The tracks "Terra Firma" and "Up All Night" were released as singles prior to the album launch. "Turn Tail" was the next single released on 19 May 2008.

The closing track "Current of the River" is a re-recorded version of the B-side to "She's Attracted To".

The cover of the album was made in London. 17-year-old Brandon Baily, a stunt rider from the Moto-Stunts International team, did the burn out on the bike. The photographer wanted smoke and fire from the tyre so the bike's rear wheel needed to be placed on wood so it could burn.
