about

Riding the dreamy waves of jazzy synth-pop and groovy psych-rock is the forte of Knovo, a Washington, DC based indie band who have just released their debut single. The group features the ethereal vocals of Tula Pisano, gliding atop a dynamic musical foundation helmed by TJ Turqman on bass, Gena Photiadis on keyboards, Nikhel Sus on guitar and Matt Tredwell on drums. This impressive collective of talent draws upon the depth of the Washington, DC music scene and that shines through in their material.

In their debut single, “Fake”, Pisano's intricate vocal melodies are on full display. The song is Pisano's bittersweet take on our current state of affairs, invoking themes of hopelessness and despair, while at the same time calling for a kinder, friendlier approach. Underlying it all is a pulsing shuffle groove, bleepy synths, sunny chords and shimmery guitars. The resulting fusion is better heard and felt, than described.

Knovo is mood music. And the moods you'll encounter on Fake are pensive and laid-back. That's what Knovo does best, inspire and soothe. Enjoy the cinematic dream world of this song, and stay tuned for more singles leading up to their debut EP, due out in June 2020.

lyrics

FAKE

Vs 1 – A:
We’re all under covers, with scars and each other to make us feel less alone
Click your heels you’re home (with 3 clicks then you’re home)
So call your mother and love one another and forget about that night you ran away
When it all just seemed too much to stay

Vs 1 – B:
We’re all just passing time in passing cars and there we are
With so much on our minds
Our bodies blur and then they gleam until we turn into a dream
Lines and shadows, hazy spring

CHORUS:
Will we just dissolve?
What if we just disappear?
And then they’ll never ever know that we were here, it makes me
Wonder if the things I thought I knew and loved were…

(…fake…fake…fake…)

They’re just fake

Vs 2 – A:
Sure as I can see it and make you believe it when it’s time to admit you don’t know
The way to get back home (with 3 clicks then you’re home)
So hug your brother, be kind to each other even when it’s easier to be
Feeling free

Vs 2 – B:
We’re all just passing time in passing cars and there we are
With so much on our minds
Our bodies blur and then they gleam until we turn into a dream
Lines and shadows, hazy spring

CHORUS:
Will we just dissolve?
What if we just disappear?
And then they’ll never ever know that we were here, it makes me
Wonder if the things I thought I knew and loved were…

(…fake…fake…fake…)

They’re just fake
