“I Know You Know I Know” is a moving folk single from Australian artist Jack Phemister. Gentle acoustics and escalating vocal ardency are joined by warming brass flourishes, sporadically embracing amidst Phemister’s title-referencing soulful rise.
The two-minute turn sees a passionate tinge of bluesy yearning that adds a lovely sense of variation to the track, which rewards with its meshing of soulful rainy-day contemplation and brass-infused excitement.
Per the artist:
“‘I Know You Know I Know’ explores the intricacy of the emotions and misinterpretations that come with the end of a relationship. The song walks an uncertain path across a desolate harmonic landscape, desperately seeking understanding. The song is almost a duet between voice and saxophone, as they weave beautifully and hideously around each other, in some pained final encounter that won’t be resolved.”
