{"product_id":"2542200","title":"Knats - Knats [VINYL]","description":"\u003cp\u003eKnats is the band's much anticipated self-titled debut album. It comes on the heels of an incendiary year for the band including supporting Geordie Greep (black midi) and playing as the backing band for R\u0026amp;B legend Eddie Chacon on UK tours. They also played a sold out Jazz Refreshed headliner, supported Str4ta at a sold-out Jazz Cafe, and performed at the BBC Proms. Led by two lifelong best friends from Newcastle, Stan Woodward (bass) and King David-Ike Elechi (drums), Knats pride themselves on making \"Geordie Jazz\", with sophisticated arrangements, strong melodies and danceable grooves. Their infectious energy has seen the band develop an enviable word-of-mouth ascent, earning Spotify playlist covers and plaudits from the likes of the Guardian, Jazzwise, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn its entirety, this album is dedicated to Knats' loved ones; Stan's composition and recent single \"Tortuga (For me Mam)\" shows his love and appreciation of his Mam, while \"Se7en\", a darker tune, expresses his emotional relationship with his Dad, formerly \"DJ Se7en\". \"Adaeze\" is a tribute to King's late sister, taken from a gospel folk tune, incorporating West African percussive breaks and instrumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Knats album represents many things, but most importantly that Newcastle is not to be overlooked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"they gleefully rewire jazz with a hard-as-nails rhythm section, drum'n'bass energy and punk aggression.\" - The Guardian \"jaw-dropping brilliance\" - Jazzwise\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54212718002561,"sku":"2542200","price":25.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/617b3bIcPSL._AC_ed25ecb1-1ed4-43d3-874d-d97b89d1a254.jpg?v=1744227727","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2542200","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
