Right out the toaster. Reliable, with some real depth.
Summary
Knitting's new single "I Wasn't Fully Cooked" is the latest preview of their upcoming album Souvenir, following "Here Comes" and "I Want To Remember Everything." The track features a driving rhythmic foundation with pounding drums and fervent strums, accented by shimmering guitar parts. Band member Mischa Dempsey reveals the song's emotional inspiration came from a fear experienced on tour in early 2020 of dying in a freak accident and being mourned under their deadname, which became a significant impetus for coming out as transgender.
