‘one day i will find the right words and they will be simple.’ — jack kerouac
when i had been 18 for two weeks, i decided i was moving from california to nashville. it was a spontaneous decision i made at 10:30 at night and by 5:30 the next morning, i had packed everything into my truck, mapquested directions, bought coffee and was on the road. i drove for 4 days — crying most of the way — listening to “turn the page” on repeat for at least 600 miles. it was the sort of decision that i made by closing my eyes and being quiet. it was the sort of decision that i made by listening to myself.
it was a simple decision to make.
really. it was one of those moments in life where all of a sudden everything is clear and sparkling and all the broken glass has turned into stars. the discordant humming turns into melody, turns into an arc, turns into something beautiful and graceful and clean.

Knox Road favorites, Letting Up Despite Great Faults, recently remixed a lulling Silver Swans song, which, knowing Letting Up, obviously resulted in something super whimsical.
You know our feelings about remixes, we practically say it every time we post one (which is rare), but the good ones are too hard to ignore. Especially when it […]
I’ve decided to make “Hometown: Glorious” an annual Thanksgiving post, with basically the same content every time. There’s nothing like a little familiarity to set a tone around this time of year.
For everyone in The US, Happy Thanksgiving, and for everyone else, I bet your family and friends would love a catch […]
I love The Golden Filter, I really do. Their new album wasn’t the best or anything but I enjoyed it very much! The Morning Benders, on the other hand, are a band I love who happened to make one of the best albums I’ve heard in a very long time. The gem of […]
Remember Maur Due & Lichter? The electroacoustic Austrian duo whom I fell in love with after listening to their debut album, Another Day. Well, they’re back with a bonus remix of Zero 7 and JosĂ© González’s tune “Futures” from The Garden.
Maur Due & Lichter’s take on the song makes it an even […]
Wow. Hands just sent us their newest track, and it’s none other than a remix of Local Natives‘ popular song “Camera Talk”. As you may know, we don’t typically post remixes on Knox Road, but when two of our favorite bands combine, well, things change.
Local Natives and Hands have become friends out […]
I posted this song on our Tumblr earlier today (well, yesterday now) and it got a pretty great response, SO…I want to let you guys in on the fun. “Anna” was one of my favorite songs of 2009, and I know it was one of Jamie’s as well, as Taken By Trees’ East […]
If any of you (maybe, one, two?) were reading the blog at this time last year, you’ll remember I posted a little something about hometowns and their glory and all that. I actually didn’t say anything, but I got you in the mood. With Adele. Because, duh, she always gets you in the mood. […]
Queen of DIY, tUnE-YaRdS, released her (awesome) debut album, BiRd-BrAiNs, earlier this year, but a deluxe version is now out on 4AD with some bonus remixes of her track, “Hatari.” What a gift! The song was remixed by Drunkenmonkey, Karn and The Small Is Beautiful, but I’ll give you […]
I was just listening to The Very Best’s Warm Heart Of Africa this morning and noting how awesome and refreshing the Radioclit/Esau Mwamwaya duo is, so imagine my surprise when Stereogum noted a new remix of their great song, “Julia!” I’ll save you the trouble, I was very surprised! […]
