The shoegazey, slowcore-ish, folk-adjacent Philadelphia indie rockers Knifeplay have spent the two and a half years since their spectacular sophomore album Animal Drowning slowly trickling out new music without giving us a proper follow-up just yet. There have been new Christmas songs that always disappear from Bandcamp once the holiday season is over, a reissue of debut album Pearlty, and a new song called “Spirit Echo” paired with an Elvis Depressedly cover. Today they’ve found another way to share new tunes without releasing a new LP, and I’m not about to complain because those new tunes are amazing.
