Lost Under Heaven are proud to reveal their latest single
“Post Millennial Tension,” the fourth track to be taken from new album
Love Hates What You Become, due for release on
January 18. The Manchester-based audio/visual duo comprised of Dutch artist
Ebony Hoorn and British vocalist
Ellery James Roberts will embark on a US tour beginning Saturday in Los Angeles before heading to San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and New York City. Listen to “Post Millennial Tension”
here.
A sprawling ballad that continually evolves from sparse piano to full blown orchestration, “Post Millennial Tension” takes inspiration for its title from
Pre-Millennium Tension, the 1996 LP from Tricky - an artist the band notes as a primary influence.
“The song was written on the frustrations of our times – particularly those of the younger generation,” Ellery explains.
“Through the Internet people have gained an awareness of possibility but remain entrapped in the limitations of old. In my understanding, solutions to the world’s problems seem plentiful, yet we remain restrained by the systemic inability to act & held down by those mind made manacles - thus the lyric: “we couldn’t work it out/ we’d sooner live in doubt.” “Post-Millennial Tension” premiered on
Vevue, a decentralised blockchain video platform. Alongside the video was a hyperlinked lyric treatment requesting fans to shoot footage as a response to the song, from which the duo shall assemble an edit, creating a collective work. Writing on Medium, Robert’s describes “Post Millennial Tension” as a song responding to the Hydra-headed regression of culture that has come to be personified by Trump, Brexiteers and the numerous other Fascist/Populist movements on the rise since the release of their debut LP,
Spiritual Songs For Lover to Sing, in 2016. Read the band’s post
