Knife in the Water Instore & LP Release Party
Details
Knife in the Water is stepping out of the shadows of your record collection and into real life for a special instore performance and LP release party. On June 23rd, 2026 at 6:00 pm, the band celebrates their new album, Knife In The Water Plays More Than One And Others, with an intimate live set surrounded by stacks of vinyl.
This free, all-ages event is the perfect excuse to immerse yourself in slow-burning, atmospheric sounds while flipping through records and hanging with fellow music fans. Whether you’ve followed Knife in the Water since their early slowcore days or you’re just curious about their haunting, cinematic style, this is a rare chance to see them up close in a cozy shop setting.
- Live performance: Knife in the Water will play a special instore set, giving you a taste of the new LP along with favorites from their catalog.
- LP release on vinyl: Celebrate the arrival of Knife In The Water Plays More Than One And Others on wax. It’s the kind of record that begs for a front-to-back listen, lights low, volume up.
- Free and all ages: No ticket needed and no age limit, so you can bring friends, family, or anyone who needs more dreamy, reverb-soaked guitars in their life.
- Refreshing sips: Complimentary drinks will be on hand courtesy of Rambler, Saint Arnold’s Brewing, and Drink Weird, keeping the vibes chill while the music builds and swells.
Expect hazy, slow-building songs that feel part Western, part dream, and entirely their own. Knife in the Water has long been known for creating music that sounds like a late-night drive through dimly lit streets—echoing pedal steel, understated vocals, and a spacious, moody sound that lingers long after the last note fades.
This instore & LP release party is ideal for:
- Vinyl lovers looking to grab the new record directly from the source.
- Fans of slowcore, indie rock, and atmospheric Americana.
- People who like their weeknights low-key, social, and soundtracked by live music instead of bar noise.
- Anyone curious about discovering a band with a cult-loved catalog and a reputation for evocative, immersive live sets.
Arrive early to snag a good spot near the performance area, check out the record bins, and grab a drink before the music starts. It’s the sort of event where you can actually hear every note, talk about music without shouting, and walk out with a new favorite LP under your arm.
Knife in the Water Instore & LP Release Party: come for the free show, stay for the lingering reverb, the new vinyl, and the kind of atmosphere you just can’t stream.
