Forged in Newcastle, honed in South-East London, Imogen and the Knife is carving an incandescent path through alternative pop. As is the way with the Northern songwriter coterie, Imogen has remarkable capacity to elicit a deeply emotional response from her audience, her artistry ground on the wheels of the north and community.

With vocal performances of depth, vulnerability and control, Imogen articulates an intimate yet social experience, often exploring themes drawn from her upbringing and her complex relationship with the body.

Joining the dots along a jagged line of influences from Kate Bush, Nick Cave, Fiona Apple, Rufus Wainwright and more, Imogen and the Knife crafts a unique world that glints with intrigue in each new track - from rhythmic swells and brooding orchestral arrangements to the grounded haunting trademark of her piano and vocal performance. Poignant song writing is brought to life with moments of quiet reflection and fresh, full-bodied instrumentals.

Imogen uses 'the Knife' as a powerful symbol of reclamation. Embracing the surgical knife, a motif that has threaded its way through her life and writing, she transforms it into a conduit for artistic expression. It embodies the precision and clarity found in her lyrics and delivery, allowing the message to cut through, leaving an indelible mark on her listeners.
