Michael Knight - I'm Not Entirely Clear How I Ended Up Like This

"I'm Not Entirely Clear How I Ended Up Like This" is the debut UK release for Dublin/Berlin beat combo Michael Knight and represents the logical progression in their ongoing musical argument that influences as diverse Beethoven, Bach and Bacharach can make compelling bedfellows. The result is 11 slices of the most irresistibly sophisticated pop music and, as further evidence of their genius, the album has been released with instrumetal and vocal versions of each song. Imagine Modesst Mussorgsky backing Jens Lekman and you're halfway there. The presence of Brian O'Shaughnessy (The Clientele, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine) on mixing duties should give an indicaton of the sonic palette on offer: sweeping strings, haunting harmonies and dramatic mood swings. The cd comes in a double cd gatefold digipak, complete with liner notes & lyrics. REVIEWS: "Why Michael Knight aren't already huge is both baffling and beguiling; but sooner or later these songs will be discovered. I may as well say it in advance, then; I told you so". SoundsXP. "Supremely beautiful songs, which have a heart, a soul, a wry sense of humour and none of that upsetting necessity to make every lyrical couplet rhyme"In Dublin.
