We recently checked out the second single “Me” from Los Angeles husband/wife shoegaze/dream pop duo The Duo ( Daniel Knowles and Jennifer Farmer )
You can listen to “Me” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here
We here at The Whole Kameese strongly believe that honesty is the best policy. ( we are not big fans of beating around the bush ) With that being said, We can unequivocally say that “Me” is an absolutely stunning musical composition that you can’t but fall in love with .
The Know began in late 2018 when Daniel suggested to his wife, Jennifer Farmer, that instead of traveling home for the holidays (to the UK and Texas respectively) that the LA based transplants stay put and try to create music together, just the two of them. This would be the married couple’s gift to themselves.
For the next few weeks, they isolated themselves in their home studio with no real plan, just a mutual love of Beach House, Julee Cruise, Ye Ye, The Jesus and Mary Chain, 60’s girl groups, dream pop, and the evocative storytelling lyricism of Patsy Cline and The National.
The result was their debut EP shared in 2020, a stunning blend of dream pop and shoegaze. Entitled wearetheknow, the six track collection of songs provided an unflinching look at the couple, delving deep into the duo’s personal lives by honestly narrating stories from their relationship and life experiences against a kaleidoscopic sonic palette. Leading single ‘143‘ melded autobiographical with fantastical lyrics and unfolds as a series of conversations, images, and hazy recollections of a night out. While ‘Hold Me Like You Know Me’ garnered comparisons to David Lynch’s Twin Peaks and Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound.
The Know’s upcoming highly anticipated second EP (EP2) is lyrically full of relatable snapshots of love, loss, isolation, uncertainty, sadness and connection. Completed during the pandemic and in a time of intense isolation, the EP was produced by Farmer and Knowles and mostly recorded in their home studio in a short span of time.
The second single ‘ME‘ is “a recollection of the start of a relationship and events between two people during lockdown but this one mostly covers the good stuff. It’s a love song about the thrill you feel when you connect with another person,” proclaims Farmer. ‘ME‘ is an enthralling cinematic slice of dream pop complete with romantic lustrous landscapes and dreamy vocals.
We are totally taken by “Me” from The Know and we can’t wait for the EP.
