about

Blixword Records 003

--

It seemed dead in the water. Home-produced and gradually assembled over the last 18 months, the release of Polar Plunging marks a breakthrough moment for Nora Knox as her most cohesive collection of songs to date. She spent much of her last two years at SUNY Purchase providing drums for punk projects (Bushies, Kale Chyps) and studying literature, quietly writing songs for herself. After entirely self-producing her last few releases, her songs are given new life by the sturdy support of her backing band. The snappy 4-song collection, featuring Wendy Kya on bass and Nick Dinelli on drums, was engineered and recorded live over a hurried March 2020 weekend by Wendy in Nick’s basement—a close-knit operation. The resulting songs place you right back in that room with them, laughing between tracks. These songs explore all kinds of connections, from the all-too-close to the want-to-be-closer. With every left turn reveals another confession: “Every time we’re together, you’re in trouble again,” she sings on Old Best Friend, begging for an end to unhealthy cycles over unresolved feelings and shifting chords. The title track unfolds from a minimal, slow-burning groove into a burst of confidence, belting “I’m never on my own, I feel so overexposed.” Now settled in Queens, Nora’s more than ready to share these songs with the world, to play them live, to let them breathe.
