Knifeplay: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Knifeplay

Knifeplay is a Philadelphia-based shoegaze and slowcore artist whose work sits in the overlap of dream-pop haze and rock volume. In New York City, they have appeared on bills at Elsewhere and TV Eye, sharing lineups with acts like trauma ray, Glixen, Her New Knife, World Peace, and Drown. The music leans on layered, overdriven guitars and unhurried pacing, with vocals kept deliberately restrained. The approach favors density and tonal control over spectacle.
