Darnielle and company then got down to work:
Getting Into Knives was recorded with producer Matt Ross-Spang at the historic Sam Phillips Recording facility in Memphis. Darnielle described “Picture Of My Dress” as, “a pop-country song that’s still identifiably the Mountain Goats, universally relatable but still a little cracked.”
