Speaking to Pitchfork, singer/guitarist Brian Keys hints at a reimagining of Japandroids’ signature, arms-aloft sound for the new record: “With this album, the idea of what intensity means is evolving,” he says. “It doesn’t necessarily mean screaming or jumping around or flailing about or being really loud or playing really fast.”
The single’s also set for a 7” release, backed by a cover of Talking Heads’ ‘Love → Building on Fire’. Check out ‘Near To The Wild Heart Of Life”s artwork below the player.
