"Hot Knives" is the second song to be released by the indie/folk-rock band Bright Eyes, from their album Cassadaga. [1]
The song was released on July 9, 2007, on a strictly-limited 7" double A-Side record. The other song featured on the record was "If the Brakeman Turns My Way".
Conor Oberst, the band's frontman allegedly said "Hot Knives is a song.. uhm, sort of about a woman that kind of discovers that her life is a sham and can't really exist in her reality any longer and has to transform completely into a new, uh, species. It sounds crazy, but it's not that crazy. It could happen to you, too" on the NME Track-by-Track.
