Search - David Wax Museum :: Knock Knock Get Up

2012 album from the Mexo-Americana band. Knock Knock Get Up is a fiercely original, rhythmically undeniable love letter to the Museum s growing global audience. It s peppered with field recordings and natural sounds from the city of Santiago, Tuxtla in the Mexican state of Veracruz. From deep in sun-drenched southern Mexico where most of the album s songs were conceived, the earliest version of Knock Knock Get Up traveled all the way to the frozen winter landscape of the Great North Sound Society in southern Maine. The album is the band s second made in collaboration with producer Sam Kassirer (Josh Ritter), and was recorded in a month-long marathon at Kassirer s rustic farmhouse studio in January 2012.
