"Post-rock" can describe several quite different subgenres, but whatever the term means to you, Yr Knives are doing it somewhere on their debut single. The post Chicago Experimental Rock Supergroup Yr Knives Announce Debut Album Begin Yr Singing : Hear “Fear&Trimbling” appeared first on Stereogum .
Chicago experimental rock supergroup Yr Knives has released their debut album Begin Yr Singing, with the lead single "Fear&Trimbling" now available. The band is the brainchild of composer and arranger Paul Karner, who brought together Milwaukee-based Andrew Trim (Hanami, Retroreflector) and Brian J Sulpizio (Health&Beauty) for a recording project.
The lineup also includes bassist Douglas McCombs of Tortoise and Eleventh Dream Day and drummer Quin Kirchner, an in-demand jazz and rock musician. The result is a blend of post-rock influences, incorporating elements of rock, jazz, electronic, classical, and avant-garde music, with roots tracing back to 1970s Germany. The album's lead single, "Fear&Trimbling," features a funky bass line from McCombs that evolves into a tangled mix of discordant guitar sounds, showcasing the band's intellectual rigor and rocking energy.
The track concludes with a string arrangement by Karner, delivering an emotionally charged and graceful beauty reminiscent of Sigur Rós.
