Krill

Krill was formed in Boston in 2010, and recorded three LPs and two EPs of strange, grungy, and sometimes catchy songs before playing their final-ish show in Brooklyn in 2015. They released another album in 2020 under the name Knot, but that's a Krill album, too, because it's easier that way. Krill is now a trio based in Chicago, where all the current members grew up: songwriter Jonah Furman, longtime drummer Ian Becker, and new guitarist Andrew Clinkman.

In resurrecting the band, Furman considered the turritopsis nutricula: the “immortal jellyfish” that reverts to juvenile form instead of dying. “I was always afraid of coming home,” he says. “But home is inescapable.” Furman and Krill ponder the passage of time on Secret Language, a nostalgic and cerebral exploration of family, fatherhood, and fated love. Out November 13, 2026 via their longtime label Exploding in Sound.
