Our Take

Step right up, folks! It's time to embark on a whimsical journey through the psychedelic soundscape of Knife Knights' debut album, "1 Time Mirage." This enigmatic collective, led by Ishmael Butler and Erik Blood, masterfully weaves together a tapestry of genres, from hip-hop to electronic, creating a sonic experience unlike any other.

The album kicks off with the infectious groove of "Drag Race Legend," a hypnotic banger that sets the tone for what's to come. As the record unfolds, we are taken on a rollercoaster ride of experimental beats, quirky samples, and off-kilter vocals that keep us on our toes. Tracks like "Light Up Ahead" and "Mr. President" showcase Knife Knights' ability to blend intricate production with thought-provoking lyrics, creating a truly immersive listening experience.

But what really sets "1 Time Mirage" apart is its sense of playful experimentation. From the trippy instrumental interludes to the unexpected sonic twists and turns, this album constantly keeps us guessing, never afraid to push the boundaries of conventional music. It's like a wacky carnival ride for your ears, with each track offering a new and exciting thrill.

So, grab your ticket and buckle up, because Knife Knights' "1 Time Mirage" is a wild and unpredictable ride that you won't want to miss. Who knew that music could be this much fun?"
