What started out as a pandemic hibernation project is now the fully fledged Montreal indie rock unit, knitting. With evocative storytelling and a dry sense of humour, knitting crafts guitar-driven and lyrically introspective indie rock that evokes the nostalgia of 90s alternative bands like Pavement, Pixies, and Sonic Youth.
Through precise lyricism, brash guitar solos, and whispered vocals, knitting brings to life Dempsey’s experiences as a twenty-something transitioning and learning to understand themself in Montreal. At once massive and intimate, Some Kind of Heaven is a rock record you can blast with your friends or listen to alone in your room, when you’re feeling alienated from everything you know—and wondering if anyone else is, too.

“Do you still believe it?” John Ross asks that question after journeying through the wreckage, after singing of thunder rolling down the track and lighting in a bottle. These are tropes, and he knows it. It’s a moment where he’s returning to the ancient wisdom of his classic rock forebears, trying to find the answers all over again. This is the ground Ross travels in “The Fences Of Stonehenge,” the lead single, opening track, and mission statement of the new Wild Pink album Dulling The Horns. The question reverberates across the album: “Do you still believe it?” And what happens when you don’t anymore?
