On 15 Jan, Daniel Knox will release his fifth studio album Won’t You Take Me With You via his own label, H.P. Johnson Presents. He has previously shared lead single ‘Fool In The Heart‘ and the video for ‘Fall Apart‘ and today follows up with the video for ‘Look At Me’. In contrast to the previous singles, ‘Look At Me’ uses long dream-like stretches of synthesizers and electric guitar fuzz to bury Knox’s rich baritone deep within the music and draw the listener further and further into his world, the visuals created by Knox himself hinting but never revealing where he might be heading.Speaking of the track Knox says:
“Look At Me is a story exploring liminal space in life and in dreams. Particularly a carpet-lined tunnel inside the house where I was born and the magic (possibly real) place that it leads.”
Won’t You Take Me With You has already built on the critical acclaim of his previous album Chasescene, picking up early responses including 9/10 Loud and Quiet, 8/10 Uncut, 4/5 Mojo and a perfect score from NARC – heralding this new record as another highlight in the fascinating career of a truly unique talent.
What follows is a list of just a few of the locations where the songs on Won’t You Take Me With You take place:
– A Chicago alleyway where he snuck into a building at night but got stuck inside.
– Late at night, well off the beaten path in Washington Park, unknowingly watched by a laughing, smoking stranger.
– A run-down mall, once resplendent and now forgotten.
– A hotel in Knoxville, Tennessee where a miracle took place.
– Driving along the highway trying to decide whether or not he wanted to crash.

Knox’s music has always been filled with wormholes and stories. Characters and places that exist on the fringes of imagination and reality populate his songs – seemingly unobserved. There’s always been a feeling in Knox’s music that these stories are connected, and on this new record it begins to become clear how. “Every song on Won’t You Take Me With You has a trap door that leads to one or more other songs on the record,” says Knox, but if you look a little deeper, these trapdoors also dip in and out of the mythology that makes up his entire back-catalogue. To put it in Daniel’s words, “I wanted the songs to stand apart but still hold hands. It was important to me that these songs all know each other, but not necessarily live in the same time and place.” As a result, the reality begins to reveal itself that these places and these stories only ever fed back to one man – Daniel Knox.
