What started out as a pandemic hibernation project is now the fully fledged Montreal indie-rock-unit knitting. With evocative storytelling and a dry sense of humour, knitting makes guitar driven and lyrically introspective indie rock evoking the nostalgia of 90s alternative rock bands like Pavement, Pixies and Sonic Youth.

Through precise lyricism, brash guitar solos and whispered vocals, knitting brings to life Dempsey’s experiences as a 20-something transitioning and working to understand themself in Montreal. At once massive and intimate, Some Kind of Heaven is a rock record that you can blast with your friends or listen to alone in your room, when you’re feeling alienated from everything you know — and wondering if anyone else is, too. 

Some Kind of Heaven was released September 6, 2024 via Mint Records, spending five weeks at #1 on the Canadian campus radio charts, and earning the band press from Pitchfork, The FADER and Stereogum (Bands To Watch, Best New Artists 2024). knitting has shared the stage with the likes of Cherry Glazerr, Ovlov and Truth Club, and has toured and performed at festivals across North America.
