 WORRIED WELLFormed in 1997 Portland, Oregon's 31Knots gradually became a veritable juggernaut of punky, quirky pop power. From the tight-as-hell compositions on "The Curse of the Longest Day" and "Talk Like Blood" (both out in 2005), to the alternating tense-loose-expansive experimentations of 2006's "Polemics" EP, 31Knots continued to break new musical ground without losing any of their signature pop/punk/prog/math rock tendencies. Their fantastic album "The Days and Night of Everything Anywhere" came out in 2007.31Knots have described their sound as "post-apocalyptic Vaudevillian punk". The 31Knots' style filter often put the boys in the same camp as Modest Mouse (and other strict math rockers), but a deeper look revealed a more Police or Fugazi-like aggregation of influences. 31Knots fuses complex rhythms with jagged guitars for mathematical songs that zigzag through changes and anxious start-stop riffs, sort of Captain Beefheart recontextualized as expermental indie rock in demented-pop brilliance. |
