Chicago's Yr Knives Announce Debut Album 'Begin Yr Singing'
Chicago experimental rock outfit Yr Knives have announced their debut album, Begin Yr Singing, alongside the lead single "Fear&Trimbling." The news was reported by American music outlet Stereogum on August 25, 2026, which described the band as a supergroup drawing members from Chicago's experimental rock scene.
The debut album and lead single
Begin Yr Singing marks Yr Knives' first release under this name. "Fear&Trimbling" is the first track the band has shared publicly.
Stereogum's report notes that "post-rock" is a label that can cover a wide range of quite different subgenres, and that this debut single lands somewhere on that spectrum. Release date and further tracklisting details have not been announced yet — readers should check the band's own channels and their label for updates.
Chicago's experimental rock lineage
Chicago has long been a hub for post-rock and experimental rock in the US, and Yr Knives — assembled as a supergroup of local musicians — extends that lineage. For now, public information is limited to the album title and lead single; the band's full lineup and any live plans have not yet been made official.
