Knifeworld Releasing New Album This Summer

05/23/2014
. (Prog) Knifeworld have confirmed the release of second album The Unravelling on July 22 via InsideOut - and Kavus Torabi, leader of the eight-piece outfit, has explained the inspiration behind the record.

The Cardiacs and Gong collaborator was profoundly affected after Cardiacs bandmate Tim Smith collapsed with a suspected stroke and heart attack in 2008.

Torabi says: "Around the time I was mixing what would become Knifeworld's debut album, Buried Alone: Tales Of Crushing Defeat, Tim collapsed after attending a My Bloody Valentine gig, having phoned to tell me he was coming over to stay.

"Tim had been my best friend for the previous 15 years. Since his collapse Tim has required 24-hour care and is still unable to go home. This event, and those that followed, inspired what would become The Unravelling - the all-too-real epiphany that, at a certain point, life becomes a process of continual loss." more on this story
