Knifeplay on Audiotree Live (Full Session)

Download & stream Knifeplay on Audiotree Live → lnk.to/AT-Knifeplay
Knifeplay is a band that defies definition, existing somewhere between the nihilistic detachment of shoegaze and the emotional honesty of folk songwriting. Originally a solo bedroom recording project of Tj Strohmer, they’ve made a slow and careful shift into a collaborative, production focused, studio recorded band. Strohmer’s philosophical songwriting deals with themes of death, drugs, heartbreak, abuse, and self-destruction. These heavy truths that define the human experience are expressed delicately with lush orchestral instrumentation, giving a beautiful lightness to the songs' heavy subject matter. Check out Knifeplay on Audiotree Live!

Great performance. Not to humble brag, but I shared oysters with a few of these musicians recently. My proximity to fame is part of my allure.

[@NadaCero]

I love talking with unknown musicians after the shows. They don’t have the egos of the famous ones.

[@TheAcuphase]

I mean, there's humble bragging and just bragging...

[@ckaledin]

Palpable allure

[@virgilebeats3041]

[@strangemobius]

Knifeplay were definitely one of my cooler discoveries this year. Great set.

[@adambread666]

Tj isnt wearing his Knifeplay is better than tagabow shirt💔

[@connersmith4801]

Is that a real thing?

[@youthofyesterdayrecords]

I don't know...but it's true. TAGABOW is rad but Knifeplay's "Animal Drowning" is like best shoegaze since Soulvaki and Loveless. Insane good.

[@subpar7404]

@@connersmith4801 yeah it is

[@bobthegrinch]

The shoegaze folk definition that immediately follows "a band that defies definition" in the video description is pretty bang on.

[@thomasziemann8107]

Beautiful Sound.
