Knife in the Water's unique mix of bleak Texas pop and country creates the perfect soundtrack for downing a fifth of bourbon alone in your car, parked outside your ex's house in the dead of winter.

With a subtle blend of organ, guitar, pedal steel, bass, and drums, they conjure the barren stretches of Texas plains, the faces in dusty bars, and the smell of cheap perfume and sleazy motel rooms.
