Montreal’s indie rock scene is abuzz with the latest release from Knitting, a band that has been steadily gaining recognition since their debut. Led by Mischa Dempsey (they/them), Knitting has unveiled their new single, ‘Fold,’ marking their first release since the acclaimed 2024 album, ‘Some Kind of Heaven.’ ‘Fold’ continues to showcase Knitting’s distinctive sound, blending introspective lyrics with dynamic instrumentation.
The track serves as a prelude to their upcoming European tour, where they will support fellow Canadian band Preoccupations. This collaboration is particularly noteworthy, as Preoccupations’ Scott Munro produced Knitting’s debut LP, further intertwining the artistic paths of these two bands. Since their formation, Knitting has carved out a niche in the indie rock landscape.
Their debut album received praise from notable publications such as Pitchfork, FADER, and Stereogum, which highlighted the band’s ability to craft music that is both personal and sharp, tumultuous yet even-keeled.
The release of ‘Fold’ is expected to build upon this foundation, offering listeners a glimpse into the band’s evolving artistry. Fans can listen to ‘Fold’ on major streaming platforms and catch Knitting live during their European tour with Preoccupations.
The tour promises to be a compelling showcase of Canada’s vibrant indie rock scene, bringing together two bands that continue to push the boundaries of the genre.
