Under the Radar: Pocket Knife

The latest addition to the Olive Grove Records roster is Pocket Knife, a Glasgow-based synth-pop duo who feature on Christmas compilation album From Olive Us To Olive You, released last week. Pocket Knife's Half The Presents is the stand-out song, with deadpan vocals and imaginative lyrics.

The album also features Randolph’s Leap, Henry & Fleetwood, Jo Mango, The Son(s), Woodenbox, State Broadcasters and Campfires in Winter. All proceeds are being donated to CDH, a charity that supports families affected by Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia, which includes label boss Lloyd Meredith’s son Luke.
