Close to the Knife: Music from a Fading Dream

from Echoes & Noise: The Story of Blue Foundation · host KØИ Records

"Close to the Knife" is a song that lived in the space between dreaming and waking—unfinished, waiting. First performed in Paris in 2012 under the name Flowers, it lingered in limbo for years. From Bo Rande’s lush orchestration to Helena Gao’s ghostly vocals and Xie’s raw, chaotic guitars, it took a journey through beauty and distortion before finally becoming whole. This is the story of a song that almost never was.
