And while this urgency was evident in the band's first songs, it is even more apparent on their debut album.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Knots \u0026amp; Chains\" leans heavily into chiaroscuro, casting shifting light across songs born of profound darkness. Here, the band uses each track as a means to examine control in its various forms. First, there is the control that others exert, as in the unsuccessful attempts of the narrator of \"You're pulling at the same Strings\" to understand the evil that dwells within the other: \"I've been wondering where your ache breathes, in mazes you design?\" Then there is the control we exert over ourselves, as in the captivating \"The Pain Keeper\" and \"My Life's solid.\" And finally, there is the control of places that also transcend us, as in \"The City works like this,\" where the city acts like a living organism, absorbing, rejecting, distorting.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tracklist_table\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"80%\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"10\" class=\"tracklist_head\"\u003e No.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"90%\" class=\"tracklist_head\"\u003e Track \u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd align=\"center\" width=\"10\" class=\"tracklist_head\"\u003e Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eCall of the Swift\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"right\"\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"left\"\u003eFantasy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eNocturnal Vision\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"right\"\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"left\"\u003eThe Pain Keeper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eThe City works like this\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"right\"\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"left\"\u003eIn the Open\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003eMy Life's solid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"right\"\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"left\"\u003eYou're pulling at the same Strings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"right\"\u003e9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"left\"\u003ePaler Streams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr class=\"trackline\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"right\"\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"left\"\u003eA dark Score\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"trackline\" align=\"center\"\u003e--\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/CbC6zYCCcrw\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audioglobe","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":57972509376886,"sku":"7640235130405","price":17.45,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/4859\/4550\/files\/loneass_7640235130405_0e0bb613-54c9-4d79-b6e1-3b9f5c8ddde6.jpg?v=1780317563","url":"https:\/\/poponaut.com\/en\/products\/lone-assembly-knots-and-chains-cd","provider":"POPoNAUT - Ticket- und Musikversand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
