Knifeworld began in 2009 upon the release of their debut album “Buried Alone – Tales Of Crushing Defeat”. What started ostensibly as a solo project of Kavus Torabi (Cardiacs, Guapo, Gong) as a continuation musically of his former band, The Monsoon Bassoon, grew into a fully-fledged recording and touring six piece band.
Knifeworld’s music is typified by complex polyrhythmic arrangements, soaring male/female vocal harmonies and songs packed with unexpected twists and hooks.
Now London-based psychedelic octet Knifeworld are extremely pleased to announce their third studio album ‘Bottled Out Of Eden’, due for release on InsideOut Music on the 22nd April 2016. The follow-up to 2014’s ‘The Unravelling’, described by The Guardian as “an ingenious, joyful exercise in exploratory zeal”, BOOE is a subtler but more immediate record than any other Knifeworld release. At times beautiful and uplifting & at others melancholic, haunting and otherworldly, the album remains surprisingly accessible and frontman Kavus Torabi had this to say:
“After The Unravelling, which took over a year to complete, we deliberately wanted to change the variables. To alter the approach in order to make something different. I love The Unravelling but it was a very difficult record to make. Rather than spending so long in the studio, constructing, arranging, recording, re-recording and adding layers of additional instruments and noises, this time round we wanted something rawer, more live sounding.”
