Knives in the Champion’s “Mind Dagger” opens with the swagger of a song that appears to put all its cards on the table, before turning the tables entirely. This happy psych-rock number sets up a catchy groove before melting into another dimension at 1:43, making the familiar feel disorienting. The band is aware of the importance of surprise, and uses the transition as more than a gimmick; it becomes part of the song’s identity. “Mind Dagger” is catchy, strange, and unpredictable.
