Taylor Knox has played with almost all of your favourite Canadian bands. Seriously. It's a staggering range: power-pop stalwarts Sloan; Jason Collett's beautifully contemplative folk-rock; Luke Doucet's alt-country; Hayden's nuanced and subtle indie folk; shimmering pop duo Zeus; mad chamber pop genius Rich Aucoin as well as his side project, The Hylozoists; and sprawling, genre-hopping rock band The Golden Dogs.
After eight years, Knox has finally liberated himself from behind the drumkit to take the mic on his new, self-titled solo project. His EP, Loomings, was inspired by Moby Dick and revealed an artist with an ear for catchy melodies and evocative lyrics.
Now Knox and his band have released a new 7-inch single featuring "Fire" and "Nothing is Impossible." Both have a great, familiar '70s feel, though the former floats on a summery, guitar-driven groove and the latter steeps itself in darker tones with a harmony-filled chorus.
