Description

Featuring string quartet and children’s choir, just like The Wall. We don't need no stinkin’ education, just the new Smog album (and our front teeth back).

 

Album Notes:

Bill Callahan (born June 3, 1966), is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist, who has also recorded and performed under the band name Smog. Callahan began working in the lo-fi genre of underground rock, with home-made tape-albums recorded on four track tape recorders. Later he began releasing albums with the label Drag City, to which he remains signed today.

 

Knock Knock is the seventh album by Bill Callahan (also known as Smog), released in January 1999 on Drag City and by Domino in Europe. The album is the fourth and final collaboration with the producer and musician Jim O'Rourke. Knock Knock elaborates Callahan’s sound and provides twists and edges to the folky style of its predecessor. “Held” was the first single, followed by “Cold Blooded Old Times”, which later appeared on the High Fidelity film soundtrack, thereby attracting some attention to Callahan’s work. Other soundtrack appearances include “Teenage Spaceship” in Crazy (2000, directed by Hans-Christian Schmid) and “Hit the Ground Running” in Swimming (2000, directed by Robert J. Siegel). The album was accompanied by the release of the single “Look Now”.

 

Loren Mazzacane Connors plays guitar on “Teenage Spaceship” and “Sweet Treat”, Thymme Jones plays drums, Jim O’Rourke plays piano and “Wurley” plays guitar.

 

Callahan has said the cover is a reference to “two zen tenets - that of life being like a flash of lightning or a wildcat’s roar” (Smog interview in Ink Blot magazine), though others have speculated that it is a reference to Cat Power, who had been in a relationship with Callahan immediately prior to the writing of the album.
