Knievel - Through the Rainbow Dark

Release Date:07/31/2015;Notes:You're forgiven if you don't know Knievel - it's been over a decade since this Australian four-piece released a record in the U.S. But if you're a fan of impeccably tasteful indie-pop you might not forgive yourself for overlooking this collection of understated gems. Through the Rainbow Dark is the fifth album from these Sydney folk, and it continues an unbroken run of should-be hits - soft-spoken slow-burners both sunny and wistful. They've frequently earned comparisons to the halcyon days of New Zealand's iconic Flying Nun roster. (Released in Australia last year as Emerald City on the legendary Alberts label).
