Eraser is the second studio album by American alternative hip hop duo The Knux, released September 27, 2011, on Cherrytree and Interscope Records. The album was preceded by the release of two singles, the first being "She's So Up", followed by "Run" featuring Kid Cudi. Much like their debut effort Remind Me in 3 Days... (2008), the album's production was handled entirely by The Knux themselves, however unlike their debut, it features several guest appearances, including Natalia Kills, Jack Davey, Blake Miller and Kid Cudi.
After spending most of 2009 touring to promote their debut album (Remind Me in 3 Days), 2010 had The Knux back in the studio working on their sophomore release. The album was initially to be released on June 21, 2011 but was pushed back to September. They recorded the album with Robert Orton who has handled production duties on albums by Police and Lady Gaga.
In April 2011, in an interview with Consequence of Sound, brothers Krispy and Joey talked about how Eraser will reshape their image: "With this album, we want to take those preconceived notions and shatter and erase them," eldest brother Krispy says. "This albums sums up everything we want to do. To transcend where we are and to smash everything wide open and make the kind of record that has that big sound we have live. It’s had hitting as shit and we keep the mayhem going and keep it free-flowing." Despite that chaotic nature, Joey insists the album begins where the last album left off and deliver one cohesive message, stating, "Every song has its own story, so everything ties into each other." Krispy went on to describe the album as "Heavy, heavy; it’s sexy," Krispy insists. "Even those don’t that like certain rock bands like that sexiness of certain rock bands. This album’s got that ’70s feel, but its very modern and straight-forward."
