Knots is the second album by UK group Sons of Noel and Adrian. It was released in 2012 by Broken Sound. The album received favourable reviews, most of which noted marked departure from the debut as the band explored and combined a wider array of genres,[7] especially the "influence of Chicago’s avant-garde rock and jazz scene and guitarists such as former Slint-man David Pajo in particular".[8]
