As previously reported, rock revivalists Japandroids have been releasing singles since February in an effort to appease their fans and fill the time until the duo can get back to some extended writing and recording. The new single "Heavenward Grand Prix" is set for a vinyl release on November 16 via Polyvinyl. Included is a b-side cover of PJ Harvey's "Shame".
With the past two singles "Art Czars" and "Younger Us" being fast and furious, "Heavenward Grand Prix" has a comparatively relaxed approach.The mid-tempo thump pushes the swollen guitar-drenched wall of sound; the waves wash over you rather than knock you down. The dual plaintive cries state "We don't have to be like they are...", but the delivery feels like it is already too late. With this kind of consistency, listening before buying is simply a formality. The vinyl versions are limited and sell out quickly, so jump on it.
