Cut the Cord

　Knife In The Water’s Cut The Cord seamlessly marries desolate country ballads with hauntingly beautiful melodies. Driven by emotions central to the human experience – death, loss, love and sex - songwriter Aaron Blount succeeds at being convincing and sincere throughout the record’s twelve tracks, underpinned by a mesmerizing cast of musicians. The band’s hypnotic, painkilling sound is achieved with understated guitars and drums often accompanied by swirling organ and the surreal drift of Bill McCullough’s pedal steel. Knife In The Water’s penchant for blending psych, country and soul into sonic daydreams will appeal to listeners yearning for more than disposable pop songs and empty gestures.
