LAPÊCHE is excited to release their latest single “Double Knotted,” the latest track to be released from the band's upcoming album Autotelic out February 6 on Tiny Engines. “Double Knotted” pairs hypnotic alt-pop rhythms with introspective, enigmatic lyrics, creating a sense of motion that mirrors the song’s themes of resilience and self-containment. The track explores personal boundaries and the quiet determination of holding oneself together, grounded beneath the waves rather than defined by them.

Krista Holly Diem says, “Double Knotted'  is about grounding yourself in the midst of chaos, finding balance amid uncertainty and motion. It’s not about achieving perfection or gaining control, it’s about persistence and presence.”

LAPÊCHE is a band in motion. Autotelic is rooted in presence and process rather than resolution. Named for the idea of doing something for its own sake, the album invites listeners to feel more than they understand to sit with ache, motion, and becoming. Trading post-punk edges for gothic shimmer, shoegaze drift, and melodic minimalism, the record carries a quiet spiritual charge. Produced by Alex Newport (At The Drive-In, Bloc Party, Death Cab for Cutie) and recorded in Joshua Tree, Autotelic reflects the stillness and expanse of the desert.
