This isn’t a new song by any means, DYAN’s “Looking for Knives” is the title track of the indie trio’s superb debut studio album, which was released back in 2016. It may be new to you, or at least a great reminder you may not have heard in a while. You might even recognize “‘Looking for Knives” from the supernatural drama series Lucifer.
DYAN are a group of three amazingly talented people: Alexis Marsh, Sam Jones, and Daniel Dorff Jr. who are specialists in creating minimal pieces of art filled with soul and groove. “Looking for Knives” simply screams musicality: quirky lyrics, out-of-this-world vocals and a greatly constructed bass line. They bring every track to another dimension.
According to PopMatters, Alexis Marsh had this to say about the track:
“I wanted out of a relationship with a good man. And there was no explaining why. It was the opposite of what I expected from myself, breaking a promise so easily,” says Alexis Marsh, who records under the DYAN moniker. “And it all felt very dark – anger, impatience, but sorrow above all. So we went after a sound to reflect that – keeping the arrangement clear up until the saxophone solo sort of explodes to finish the song.”
