About This Track

“Hot Knives” is the second song to be released by the indie/folk-rock band Bright Eyes, from their album Cassadaga.[1] The song was released on July 9, 2007, on a strictly-limited 7” double A-side record. The other song featured on the record was “If the Brakeman Turns My Way”.

Conor Oberst, the band’s frontman, allegedly said “Hot Knives is a song… um, sort of about a woman that kind of discovers that her life is a sham and can’t really exist in her reality any longer and has to transform completely into a new, uh, species. It sounds crazy, but it’s not that crazy. It could happen to you, too” on the NME Track-by-Track.

    I always thought the Duprees added a lot to this song. When I first heard they would be on this album, I was dreading it. But their voices are used pretty perfectly.
