Getting Into Knives

The Mountain Goats

Warm, analog-soaked folk rock recorded in Memphis. A literate collection of stories about survival, revenge, and the quiet dignity of the natural world.

It's the Mountain Goats if they grew up listening to Memphis soul and spent a week in a swamp.

A patient and richly textured exploration of survival that feels both ancient and immediate.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, bright burst of horns that elevates the cynical energy of Get Famous.
The patient, hypnotic build of the title track where the organ creates a thick, swampy tension.
The heartbreakingly sparse piano opening of The Last Place I Saw You Alive that grounds the album's finale.
