"The release of The Violence of Action feels timely, and it's still one of my favourite songs, even after all these years," shares frontman Nick Gaffaney. "It takes me back to the early days of the band, when we were forcing equipment to do things in the looping world it was never designed to do and running with the inspiration wherever it took us."
The Violence of Action was originally written in a storage unit in Christchurch, New Zealand, where the band endured the biting winter with only glow-in-the-dark carpet to muffle the sound. This unique environment played a crucial role in shaping the song's raw energy. The newly released version is a live performance recorded at Kingsize Soundlabs in Los Angeles in 2015, capturing the unfiltered and visceral essence of Cairo Knife Fight.

Following this powerful single, Cairo Knife Fight is set to release Dream Season, their first collection of songs since their 2017 album Seven. Reflecting on the journey since their last release, Gaffaney states, "Dream Season is our first collection of songs since our last album Seven in 2017. Those years have been full of myriad ups and downs, like all lives, so it's great to see the shore again and be still here, still working."
The EP's artwork, crafted by Barny Bewick at Indium Design, is a tribute to Théodore Géricault's iconic painting 'The Raft of the Medusa'. Gaffaney highlights the importance of the creative team surrounding the band, saying, "We sometimes don't talk enough about the creative work that surrounds a band, and we're very fortunate to have a group of creative people who have been there with us since the beginning. That might be the legacy of this band that I'm most proud of."
Golden Robot Records is thrilled to bring these new releases to fans, showcasing the continued evolution and resilience of Cairo Knife Fight.
