Album Description Named one of Spin Magazine's Top 20 albums of 2000, Red River is Knife In The Water's brilliant follow up to Plays One Sound And Others. Further expanding on their Spiritualized by way of Gram Parsons sound, Red River ranges from the rough and up-tempo Young Blood In The River to the serene Broad Daylight. The Aspyr expanded reissue includes two bonus songs 2 Spades and Sunset Motel as well as new artwork and liner notes from DC Berman. Like a peaceful daydream with a sinister backbite, Red River displays Knife In The Water discovering their knack for delivering emotional gravity, beautifully. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsSounds Of Contrast Gene Thibideaux | Shreveport, LA USA | 07/09/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) ""Watch Your Back" begins the album with a seemingly lazy warning that unfolds through repeated listens, as a fully agressive threat. It's a beautiful picture of danger lurking, not shallow as the term 'pop' would betray, and heavier than metal could carry. By albums end you will feel like you're exiting a maze of otherworldly Texas characters & stories that may or may not exist. A subtle/slow ride between the narrow posts of beauty and danger." On The Border George a Pletz | Central PA, USA | 03/21/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "One of the complaints about Knife On The Water is nothing happens musically. The irony here is that while the music underplays, the lyrics scream. Not in a cliche way, however.
The crucial point here one has to hear the words. And the vocalists deliver their twisted tales in a clear natural voice. So if you are expecting a histrionic voice (ala Butthole Surfers), you will not get it. Instead you get gorgeous voices delivering dark stories over a sound that delivers what if Velvet Underground (circa third album)was from Austin. Admittedly this album takes a few listens to get but it is worth it. As they say, this one has legs. The care and deliberation in this minimalistic noir country gives it life beyond the short attention span theatre that is modern indie music. A classic for the detail oriented. Happy thrillseekers not need apply. This is about delving into the Southern 90s Darkness. I can't say it lifts you up but it gets you through. Brilliant." |
