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 latest music, however they’ve made it depend. 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.” Immediately, 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 as we speak. “Hey, ya’ll,” the group’s TJ Strohmer writes. “Here’s a hyperlink to our new EP so you possibly can pay attention early. Be happy to share it with whoever you assume would really like it. I recognize each one among you with all of my coronary heart.”
As somebody who obtained that message, I’m completely satisfied to go 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 via 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 stunning comedown. Hear each songs under.
No concept when this may be getting an official launch.
