Hat Bark Beach

by Knife Pleats

supported by

Art Fin I'm not familiar with Rose Melberg's several other bands but I love this project on WIAIWYA. With sweet vocals like Beverly, driving guitar like Eternal Summers and the overall sunny feel of early Best Coast - like the music that Best Coast used to make but no longer makes - this album can be described by the title of Track 9 and not Track 4. This is one of the best previously unknown things I've ever bought on Bandcamp. Favorite track: Monocularly Blind.

about

From Impose Magazine:

Knife Pleats is the newest project from the prolific Rose Melberg, whose past projects include Tiger Trap, The Softies, Go Sailor, Gaze, Imaginary Pants, PUPS, and several solo records. The first singles from the Vancouver-based project, which features Kaity McWhinney and Tracey Vath of Love Cuts and drummer Gregor Phillips, recall the sounds Melberg is most known for: crisp and bouncy guitar pop and heartfelt lyrics.

On “One Step Too Far,” Melberg contemplates the passage of time (“Please don’t change too much too fast these days won’t last long”) against lively arraignments. “Terrible” is slightly more pensive, a reflection of the inner workings of a relationship. Both tracks are sure to appeals to Melberg fans old and new.
