couldn't think of a better title... sorry.
the knit separates were a band centered around jason honea and glenn donaldson, both of later jewelled antler "fame." they released many singles and an album under this moniker. it was sort of a stripped down shoegaze sound, a more bedroom pop feel than the huge wall of guitars most bands went with. truly, this band found more in common with the bands of the blackbeanandplacentatapeclub (my favorite label of all time!) than of any other label, even doing a split lp with blackbean heart-throbs orange cake mix (who i will post some stuff from later, love em!). these fellas enjoyed minor success and were more well known for their post knit projects than this, but i think that these recordings stand on their own and are very solid, a sound of musicians finding themselves and learning who they are. members went on to be in such bands as (long deep breathe...) mirza, blithe sons, thuja, ivytree, birdtree, flying canyon, child readers, skygreen leopards, famous boating party, james bloodbeard, and probably like 5000 more...
if you like any of those bands, their track on the jewelled antler comp "windswept trees and houses," or lo-fi home recorded music, then check this shit out!
