Knock Knock is Smog's seventh album, released in January 1999 on Drag City Records and by Domino in Europe. The album is the fourth and final collaboration with producer and musician Jim O'Rourke. Knock Knock elaborates Callahan's sound and provides twists and edges to the folky style of its predecessor. "Held" was the first single, followed by "Cold Blooded Old Times," which was also featured on the High Fidelity soundtrack, thereby gaining some attention to Callahan's work.

  • Knock Knock is Smog's seventh album, released in January 1999 on Drag City Records and by Domino in Europe. The album is the fourth and final collaboration with producer and musician Jim O'Rourke. Knock Knock elaborates Callahan's sound and provides twists and edges to the folky style of its predecessor. "Held" was the first single, followed by "Cold Blooded Old Times," which was also featured on the High Fidelity soundtrack, thereby gaining some attention to Callahan's work. Other soundtrack appearances include "Teenage Spaceship" in Crazy (2000, directed by Hans-Christian Schmid), and "Hit the Ground Running" in Swimming (2000, directed by Robert J. Siegel). The album was accompanied by the release of the single "Look Now," featuring the two Japanese bonus tracks. Loren Mazzacane Connors plays guitar on "Sweet Treat," and Tim Mulvenna played drums. Jim O'Rourke played piano, and "Wurley" played guitar. Bill Callahan has referred to the cover as being a reference to "two zen tenets - that of life being like a flash of lightning or a wildcat's roar" (Smog interview in Ink Blot Magazine), though others have speculated that it is a reference to Cat Power, who was in a relationship with Callahan at the time.
