Knights of the Sound Table

Cameo

Rubbery basslines and nasal vocal snarls meet medieval-themed synth-funk. A high-energy bridge between 70s soul and the skeletal grooves of the 80s.

May 18, 1981 · Chocolate City

A confident and nocturnal blend of rhythmic aggression and melodic playfulness.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the title track where the bassline locks into a relentless, mechanical groove.
The way the vocal harmonies on 'Knights by Night' create a haunting, nocturnal wall of sound.
The aggressive, percussive synth stabs on 'Use It or Lose It' that signal the band's shift toward their 80s peak.
