Within the two years since Knifeplay launched their spectacular sophomore album Animal Drowning, the dreamy and grandiose Philly indie band has not launched an entire lot of recent music, however they’ve made it rely. Every winter, Knifeplay have expanded their low-key superior vacation EP, which solely seems round Christmastime then disappears yearly in January, together with a canopy of Counting Crows’ “A Lengthy December.” At the moment, they’ve lastly given us some non-seasonal music, and it as soon as once more guidelines.
In a message to their Bandcamp followers, Knifeplay despatched out a contemporary YouTube hyperlink at the moment. “Hey, ya’ll,” the group’s TJ Strohmer writes. “Here’s a hyperlink to our new EP so you’ll be able to pay attention early. Be happy to share it with whoever you assume would love it. I respect each one in every of you with all of my coronary heart.”
As somebody who acquired that message, I’m blissful to move alongside two new Knifeplay songs to you. The “Spirit Echo,” the headliner of the pair, is sort of 10 minutes lengthy, and it earns each second of that sprawl. It’s like a model of Beck’s “The Golden Age” that rises by way of a number of ranges of heaven and blasts off on an airborne journey. “Cry Infants,” a canopy of an Elvis Depressedly tune, is shorter and softer, and it makes for a beautiful comedown. Hear each songs under.
No thought when this is perhaps getting an official launch.
