knitting’s Souvenir lands on 26 June via Mint Records, and the title is doing exactly the right emotional work. The Montreal indie-rock band follow 2024’s Some Kind of Heaven with a record focused on the memories people carry through life, each song compared to opening a locket. Lead single I Want To Remember Everything sets the tone, with songwriter Mischa Dempsey reflecting on weird-kid identity, childhood media obsessions and the parts of the self that get hidden away during adulthood. That is fertile ground for slacker rock because the genre is often strongest when it makes ordinary memory feel cracked open and glowing. The album was made across sessions in Montreal and St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, drawing from the diversity of Montreal’s DIY scene. Souvenir sounds like nostalgia without cheap sentiment: a keepsake with fuzz on the edges.
