It was high time to escape

Description :New drummer Jay Pellicci (Dilute, The Natural Dreamers) and his brother Ian Pellicci (also of Dilute) recorded It Was High Time to Escape in San Francisco in August of 2002 and March of 2003. 31knots strove to record an album devoid of a 'room sound,' as the goal was not to make it sound like their best live show, but something quite the opposite, since they feel it is impossible to fully capture a band’s live energy on tape. Inspired by the whole spectrum of ‘70’s style isolated recordings, where any 'bleed' of sound was anathema, 31knots, therefore, worked to create an album that called upon a lot of what they pictured the music to be like in their heads. Wrote Magnet of their last record, '...much of early Yes is just as sonically bizarre as Beefheart, King Crimson, Can or any other 'accepted' weirdos from the era. 31Knots 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 31Knots will be the flagship band when the term 'prog pop' enters our lexicon.' Passionate, explorative, and driven by an undercurrent of barely concealed mania, It Was High Time to Escape is a brilliantly composed record, one where whose dramatic flourishes and technical marvel lean the band toward classical music and whose intensity and complex structures are steeped in both post-punk and prog, but are ultimately and convincingly beyond these influences. In fact, we'd dare say this record is not only quite contemporary, it is timeless.
