knitting recently dropped “Here Comes,” the track is off the Vancouver band’s forthcoming album Souvenir, available June 26, 2026 via Mint Records (Narduwar). It’s a laundry list of things to complete to supposedly help get one’s life in better shape—but by what definition? Or whose? “Lyrically, the song plays around with the push and pull between trying to keep your head above water, and wanting to give up on that and just have fun,” says Dempsey. “Above all, it’s about knowing the period of recklessness in your early 20s has an expiration date, and seeing just how long you can push it.”

The video, filmed and edited by Marlaena Moore, enters a layered landscape, textured by vague sensations, each image passing like a dream you can’t quite remember. Moore shares, “I love green screen music videos from the 80’s and 90’s. I wanted to imagine knitting as a kind of arty alternative rock band with a hot new single ready for MTV. In true DIY fashion, this video had a quick turnaround time so I figured it was best to just lean into the fun of shooting a video with your friends over the weekend. They put their full trust in me and with that I was able to play around with stop motion and compositing and truly just vibe it out until it felt right. I also felt very inspired by all the close ups I got of their sweet faces. I adore each of them so much as people and hope that shines through.”

The album, was recorded and produced in-house, fully engineered by guitarist Sarah Harris and with the rest of the band contributing bits and pieces to the production. For “Here Comes,” Dempsey commented, “‘Here Comes’ was the working title for this song, because the lead riff in the verse felt like it was in anticipation of something. I brought it to the band; we built the chorus and bridge in our jamspace, and then ended up restructuring the whole thing in the studio. I came to record vocals with only the chorus finished, and me and Sarah came up with the rest on the spot.”
