Getting Into Knives

by The Mountain Goats

Getting Into Knives cover art

Recorded at the historic Sam Phillips Sound Studio in Memphis just prior to the pandemic lockdowns, John Darnielle's long-running outfit leans deeply into warm, Southern soul and country rock. The rich studio environment profoundly impacted the arrangements, resulting in prominent Hammond B3 organ flourishes and a remarkably loose, live-in-the-room energy. It stands as a vibrant counterpoint to their lo-fi, boombox-recorded album released earlier in the same year.
