<p>In 2015, the beloved Boston indie-rock band <strong>Krill</strong> broke-up. Actually, hold on, broke-up may be too intense of a phrase. They did stop playing shows in the fall of 2015, but by 2016, they put out a posthumous five-song EP, and a couple years after that, Krill reunited for a one-off show supporting their friends in LVL UP. So, there was no acrimony, Krill just kind of ended. But in 2019, <strong>Knot</strong> was born, which, depending on how you look at it, is kind of Krill and also kind of not at all Krill.</p>

<p>In the simplest terms, Knot is effectively Krill’s final lineup with an additional musician added in, but it’s the particulars that highlight the differences between the two bands. In Knot, Krill bassist and vocalist <strong>Jonah Furman</strong> switches to guitar, Krill guitarist <strong>Aaron Ratoff</strong> handles both guitar and bass,<strong> Ian Becker</strong> is still on drums, and <strong>Joe DeManuelle-Hall</strong>, the relative newcomer, also plays guitar. In essence, Knot is a bigger, more ruminative version of Krill, but it’s also something that’s distinct unto itself. And on the band’s debut album, which is called Knot, too, it’s easy to see that Knot has a perspective all its own.</p>
