Today, the Vancouver rock duo Japandroids released a new track called “Chicago.”
This lead single, their first in seven years, is from their upcoming and final album Fate & Alcohol, set to be released on October 18, 2024, via Arts & Crafts in Canada and ANTI-Records internationally.
“Chicago” is a bittersweet, reflective rock tune that captures Japandroids’ signature style.
About the track by Japandroids:
On our last record, we wanted to broaden the definition of a Japandroids song and purposely left our demos quite open and malleable so that we had more flexibility to experiment in the studio.
At the time, this approach was new and exciting and inspired us to be bolder, to take more chances.
We were aiming for a more cinematic take on our signature sound.
This time, we made certain that every song ripped in our jam space before Jesse ever heard it.
If you listen to our first demo of “Chicago,” it’s obviously much rougher than what you hear on record, but it’s all there.
Even on a blown-out iPhone recording, the energy was obvious, and the feeling cut through loud and clear.
