THE KNOCKS & DRAGONETTE RELEASE REVELATION ALBUM & TOUR
June 19 - August 23
The New York City electronic duo The Knocks and Canadian electro-pop powerhouse artist Dragonette (aka Martina Sorbara) release their debut collaborative album Revelation via Neon Gold Records / Futures / Virgin.
The culminating finale of this full-length collaborative journey includes fan favorite standout tracks “Foolish Pleasure“, “Revelation”, “The Hero,” and the focus single revealed today, “Love Me Alive”. Once again, they deliver a match made in dance-pop heaven. This new era is set in a 1980’s corporate liminal space at the fictional company Revelation Technologies, with Aquaria (RuPaul’s Drag Race winner) being the muse. The campaign is a satirical look at the homogenization of marketing and art in the modern landscape, presented through the lens of “executives” selling magic pill products by way of corporate doublespeak and overt sales tactics. This collaboration is a follow-up to The Knocks & Dragonette’s 2019 GRAMMY-nominated single “Slow Song.”
The tracklist also includes a shimmering reimagining of Pete Townshend’s classic “Let My Love Open The Door,” recast through the duo’s signature synth-driven, emotionally charged lens.

“Revelation, to me, is some of the best music we’ve made to date. It’s cohesive, intentional, and achieves exactly the sound/vibe that we were aiming to create. We are extremely blessed to have been able to collaborate so closely with someone as prolific as Dragonette. They are truly amazing. This project feels like a coming of age for us creatively, and I feel like it’s a perfect evolution of “The Knocks sound”. Revelation is our fourth album now, but it feels like we’re really just getting started as music producers/writers.” – JPatt from The Knocks
Dragonette (aka Martina Sorbara) adds: “Love Me Alive” is the first song that The Knocks and I wrote after “Slow Song”. There was no objective when we started it, but as soon as the song took shape, I think we could kind of tell that this song was a relative of Slow Song and it opened our minds to the idea that there could be even more songs in this world we created together. So to me it’s kind of the mamma song to all the others on the album.”
