Gideon King & City Blog continue their remarkable sonic evolution with ‘Love Knot,’ a dazzling, three-song EP released on May 29th, 2020. Hinting at everything from Seal and Lianne La Havas to Stevie Wonder and Steely Dan, the collection is both sophisticated and accessible, weaving its way through unexpected changes with lush arrangements and addictive hooks that blur the lines between jazz, rock, folk, and soul. After releasing a series of well-received singles, the band continues to write/record and play locally in NYC. GKCB is currently rolling out singles for their 2024 EP titled "Splinters".
