The Know began in late 2018 when Daniel Knowles suggested to his wife, Jennifer Farmer, that instead of traveling home for the holidays (to the UK and Texas respectively) that the LA based transplants stay put and try to create music together, just the two of them. This would be the married couple\u2019s gift to themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the next few weeks, they isolated themselves in their home studio with no real plan except a mutual love of Beach House, Julee Cruise, Ye Ye, The Jesus and Mary Chain, 60’s girl groups, dream pop, and the evocative storytelling lyricism of Patsy Cline and The National.
The first result was lead single ‘143’ which premiered in late 2019 by FLOOD and was met with critical acclaim. Inspired by Tom Waits\u2019 \u2018(Looking for) The Heart of Saturday Night\u2019, the dream pop song melds autobiographical with fantastical lyrics and unfolds as a series of conversations, images, and hazy recollections of a night out. Their love for ethereal, dreamy atmospheres is shown in \u2018143\u2019, glistening with warm melodies, thick soundscapes, and quirky spontaneous flares. It made several \u201cBest of 2019\u201d lists\u201d as well as being added to rotation on the BBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their second single, \u2018Hold Me Like You\u00a0Know\u00a0Me\u2019 garnered comparisons to David Lynch\u2019s Twin Peaks and Phil Spector\u2019s\u00a0\u00a0Wall of Sound.”\u00a0The\u00a0single is a very personal account describing\u00a0the\u00a0intense feelings of loneliness\u00a0and isolation Farmer felt this past year.\u00a0\u2018Hold Me Like You\u00a0Know\u00a0Me\u2019 features\u00a0twinkling synths and haunting vocals over driving bass.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
