Yep, it’s me again!
It’s been a very Knutty week since my last little update, so here’s what’s new!!
(also I’m testing to see if this picture works as a nice divider, hopefully it does)
My Latest Single – LISTEN HERE >
‘All Dressed Up’ by my (new!) fictional band Glinter is officially out now for everyone’s consumption :-)
It’s 3 minutes of pure 90s cassette tape slacker rock heaven!!
Knutmo Five’s Debut Album – LISTEN HERE >
I played drums on this album! And violin!! And I produced it!!!!!
The official release date was 23rd January, but due to some technical issues regarding distribution, the release to streaming services has been delayed.
Should be out properly in a few days though :-)
Go follow @knutmofive on Instagram for updates!!
Cassette 8-track Song Breakdown – WATCH HERE >
Interested in seeing me doing a breakdown of ‘All Dressed Up’ ??
Well this is the video for you.
I just go through the different tracks and instruments that make up the song, and talk about my experience with recording the Glinter album on cassette tape.
Bonus: Pics From The First Knutmo Gig
On Saturday 24th January, Knutmo Five played our first gig at the Old Bus Depot in Nottingham.
Sadly, Ollie couldn’t make it, so it was just Alfie on guitar and me on drums, but everyone still loved it!
You might’ve even been there!! (If so, THANK YOU FOR COMING!!!)
So yes, it’s been a very Knutty and very cassette-y week. You love to see it.
I’ll see you next time, bye for now :D
