The Know, the husband and wife duo of Jennifer Farmer and Daniel Knowles, are preparing for their new EP and have since shared its single, “Used To Be.”
It’s a shimmering slice of shoegaze and dream pop that details “the complexities of romantic relationships specifically when they were heightened during the pandemic.” It captures the fuzzy goodness of bands like The Raveonettes, The Kills, with all the classic shoegazers that paved the way.
Speaking on the message of the song, Knowles adds:
The pandemic hit, people all around us were having their relationships tested in lockdown with significant others, some relationships came out stronger, some didn’t survive. And on a more universal scale lots of people worldwide were dealing with a loss of normality, loss of connection with other people, suddenly not being able to do simple things like buy groceries, things we’d all taken for granted.” Sonically, “Used to Be” features hazy guitars, warm melodies and atmospheric soundscapes that are on the edge of uncontrollable making for an enthralling listen. The accompanying cinematic music video was directed and created by Farmer and profiles a troubled relationship representing the highs, the lows and the mundane moments in a non-linear fashion.
