Night Manager, “I Want the Knife”

This new Night Manager tracks “I Want the Knife” keeps pace with their other tracks in that it's incredibly infectious, woozy, reverb-blurred, and master of the backup-vocal “ooh”.

Funny thing about this song is it feels succinctly in line with the kind of music fellow Brooklyn compatriots will play alongside (like at an upcoming show with The Beets, Total Slacker, the Babies and Eternal Summers on November 17, Monster Island basement), but those guitar solos sneak jazz arpeggios right under the Maître d's table cloth. (We've said the same thing about Total Slacker.)

Put it on a mixtape with the other Night Manager tracks, call it an EP.
