Bro/Knak is a studio album released in 2012 by the Danish guitarist Jakob Bro and the producer Thomas Knak, who has also worked with artists such as Björk and Alva Noto. The release received a special award by the Danish Arts Council as a work that particularly stood out in 2012.

“Ambitious in scope but introspective in delivery, Bro/Knak reveals another side beyond Bro’s growing reputation as a guitarist. He’s already proven himself a fine participant in a growing international network of musical performers; here, with Knak, it’s a different kind of collaboration, and one to which the guitarist/composer is clearly and equally well-suited.” – All About Jazz (4,5/5 stars)
