Entertainment Weekly recently premiered the clip and described the song as \u201cpounding beats, twitchy synths, a shout-along chorus, and M\u2019Queen\u2019s boundless charisma.\u201d Earmilk also praised the band, stating “Five Knives have an intoxicating sound that blends gritty electronic sounds with unstoppable pop melodies” while Crave declared \u201cFor those who like their synth-pop with a deep dose of attitude, made by musicians playing actual instruments.\u201d<\/p>\n
Five Knives have also released a \u201cSavages\u201d remix EP which features re-workings of the track from Pretty Lights, Chris Lake, Milkman, Illyus and Barrientos and more, and their Daytrotter session premiered today.<\/p>\n
