Youth always feels endless, right until it starts sending reminders. knitting created Here Comes around that uneasy realization, by turning the slow panic of growing up into something dreamy, restless, and deceptively catchy. The track moves with a nervous anticipation which never fully resolves, pairing jangling slacker-rock guitars with an undercurrent of emotional unease. Mischa Dempsey’s writing captures the exhausting loop of self-improvement, self-doubt, and quiet rebellion that defines your early twenties when structure starts feeling mandatory and freedom starts feeling temporary. The video, filmed and edited by Marlaena Moore, extends that emotional blur through a dreamy collage of green-screen nostalgia, stop motion touches, and layered visual effects that feel ripped from a warped MTV memory. Mischa had to say:

Lyrically, the song plays around with the push and pull between trying to keep your head above water, and wanting to give up on that and just have fun… Above all, it’s about knowing the period of recklessness in your early 20s has an expiration date, and seeing just how long you can push it.

Every composited frame passes like a half-remembered dream, matching the song’s fixation on impermanence and emotional disorientation. The hook lands with momentum, but the unease underneath never disappears. That tension gives the song its weight—what sounds breezy on the surface is constantly undercut by existential static. knitting understand that fear rarely arrives dramatically; more often, it slips in while you’re trying to convince yourself everything is fine. "Here Comes" captures that contradiction well, balancing reckless charm with the sinking awareness that recklessness eventually expires. It’s slacker rock with its stomach in knots. That pairing makes “Here Comes” feel less like a standalone single and more like a thesis statement for Souvenir, due June 26 via Mint Records. Connect with knitting on INSTAGRAM BANDCAMP.
