knitting

knitting is a guitar-led indie rock band from Montreal, whose songs filter personal introspection through a slacker-rock lens. This Bristol concert takes place at The Lanes.

knitting is an indie rock band built around guitar, formed by Mischa Dempsey, Sarah Harris and Andy Mulcair. The group came up through Montreal's do-it-yourself scene, and critics have placed their warped, careening sound alongside DIIV, Hole and Alex G.

Their 2024 debut, Some Kind of Heaven, released on Mint Records, draws on the nostalgia of 90s alternative rock. It spent five weeks at number one on the Canadian campus radio charts and received coverage from Pitchfork, The FADER and Stereogum. The band has played SXSW and toured across Canada, the United States, the UK and Europe.

Their second album, Souvenir, also on Mint Records, was written, recorded and produced by the band. It is an introspective, at times existential record about what people carry with them through life, with each song working like a locket opened onto a particular memory.
