Ever since they were an adolescent, Mischa Dempsey has been eager to rock, cutting their teeth as a bassist and songwriter in bands from eastern Canada’s resolute DIY scene of the 2010s. It was through this wider scene that Dempsey first met future collaborators Andy Mulcair and Sarah Harris playing a show with Mulcair in a Beatles-themed BnB venue in rural Nova Scotia, and Harris at a music festival in St. John’s, NL. When lockdown put touring life on hold, Dempsey took the time to develop their once-confrontational songwriting style into something that balanced subtlety and storminess. With a throwaway Bandcamp upload that Dempsey thought would only be heard by a few friends, knitting announced itself to the world with a seven-song self-titled mini-album whose candor and homespun sound spoke to a nagging malaise plaguing listeners all over. Dempsey didn’t keep knitting a solo project for very long. The band started off as a four-piece that assembled member by member.
Today, knitting has three central members: Dempsey, drummer Andy Mulcair (Andy and the Dannys, Lovelet), and guitarist-engineer Sarah Harris (Ultra Far). As a four-piece rock band, the bedroom sound of the self-titled evolved into a slacker-grunge hybrid that is pummeling and oppressive when called for, but has room for some lighthearted fun. They cemented their sound on their debut album, Some Kind of Heaven, their debut full-length. It’s brooding guitars and plainspoken lyrics speak to the variety of questions Dempsey was tackling in the early years of knitting.
A smart debut album designed to make a strong aesthetic thesis statement. RIYL: Pavement, Sonic Youth, Breeders, Momma
