Krill is an American indie rock band from Boston, Massachusetts. Founded by frontman Jonah Furman, guitarist Aaron Ratoff, and drummer Luke Pyenson[1] (later replaced by Ian Becker[2]), the group released three albums.

Krill formed in 2010 in Allston, a neighborhood of Boston.[3] Krill released their debut album, Alam No Hris, in 2012.[4] The group released its second full-length album in 2013, titled Lucky Leaves.[5][6][7] Krill was named a "Band to Watch" in 2013 by Stereogum.[8] Krill released their third and final album in 2015, titled A Distant Fist Unclenching, through Exploding in Sound and Double Double Whammy.[9][10][11]

Krill announced in September 2015 plans to play four final shows before breaking up. They played their final show on October 23, 2015, in Brooklyn.[12]

In 2019, Furman, Ratoff, and Becker reunited, along with Joe DeManuelle-Hall, as Knot.[13] The group released a self-titled album in 2020 on Exploding in Sound.

In 2026, Furman and Becker returned with new member Andrew Clinkman, and released their first recorded song in a decade, "Commemorative Plaque".[14]
