Japandroids Call It Like They See It on First New Song in Seven Years ‘Chicago’
Vancouver rock duo Japandroids have released their first song in seven years, 'Chicago,' which will appear on their final album, 'Fate and Alcohol.'
The mighty Vancouver rock duo Japandroids are back with their first new song in seven years, “Chicago,” which will appear on their final album, Fate and Alcohol, out Oct. 18 via Anti-. “Chicago” finds Japandroids doing what they have always done best: Enormous, relentlessly striving guitars flying above a battlefield of drums, lyrics capturing the grimy beauty of living fully, even if the cost is some self-destruction. In a statement, King discussed the band’s aims for their last record, saying he and drummer (and occasional vocalist) David Prowse “wanted to broaden the definition of a Japandroids song.” To do so, they left their demos “quite open and malleable” to allow for more experimentation and flexibility when they finally got to the studio.
