“Close To The Knife”

Close to the Knife marks Blue Foundation’s bold evolution into raw, cinematic dream-pop. Written over three years across Copenhagen and Brooklyn by Tobias Wilner and Bo Rande, the 11-track album blends shoegaze, psychedelia, and live instrumentation to explore themes of love, betrayal, and emotional fragility. Guest appearances include Xie Yugang (Wang Wen), Jonas Munk (Manual), Federico Ughi (577 Records), Sonya Kitchell, Nina Larsen, Scarlet Rae, and Helena Gao. Featuring intimate vocals and hypnotic textures, it’s their most immersive and emotionally charged work to date.

"A song is a truth. The visual art should be too. I keep it close. I prefer to be involved - ideally, to make it with my own hands."
