Montréal-based indie pop duo Down With Space is vocalist/guitarist Rob Helsten and drummer Steve Dumas – the partnership of an English speaker (Helsten) and a French speaker (Dumas) who have found an understanding through music when language can sometimes elude communication.
Their confident new single, “Know I Know,” is about being able to see what’s really going on. We’ve all encountered it before – you meet a guy who tells you what you want to hear but you see through it. There’s something else happening, something beneath the surface, and what you are getting is a sugar coated version, tailored to whom it may concern. But you know better, you see the truth and what’s worth.
