Having received accolades from Magnet, Copper Press, San Francisco Bay Guardian, and many others, 31Knots return with "Talk Like Blood" their third full-length and first on Polyvinyl. 31Knots have released two critically acclaimed full-lengths on 54°40' or Fight!, toured with Q and Not U, and most recently toured Japan selling out Tokyo. 31 Knots know their Yes, and they know how to make Fugazi and Slint sound exactly like Yes. This is John Anderson fronting Modest Mouse, and it works so well that 31 Knots will be the flagship band when the term "prog pop" enters our lexicon. "As the grassroots press network continues to ossify, it's easy to forget that there are good bands operating outside of the high-profile indie labels, and how exciting it is to stumble across one." - Pitchfork
