‘Even As The Knife Went Through’ is a beautifully arranged tune that balances tender emotion with experimental electronics. Zach James Douglas layers the track spectacularly. He introduces fresh new sounds through guitar embellishments, twinkling sounds, elegant piano and synth flurries with each verse to create a constantly evolving listening experience. The track has an ethereal quality to it that is enhanced by the soft, soulful vocals from guest vocalist Saoirse. She coos over a dreamy melody while tropical tones and wispy atmospherics build throughout. Zach James Douglas is an impressive and extremely talented artist who uses rich and diverse soundscapes to create wholly immersive and engaging tunes that are simply a joy to listen to.

About the song Douglas says…“Even as the Knife Went Through explores the scarred mental state of someone who’s been hurt by a previous partner. It details the intimacy and trust issues that a person develops within future relationships and how despite being the target of such abuse, they still tend to carry a sense of guilt and a deeply hard wired love for their ex partner.”
