Fredag den 20:e januari släppte Rival Sons sin nya singel “Rapture” på alla streamingplattformer. Låten är andra singeln från bandets kommande skiva “Darkfighter”.
“Darkfighter” kommer släppas den 2:e juni i år och bandet meddelar att de följer upp kommande skivsläppet med en kompis-skiva med titeln “Lightbringer” som kommer släppas senare under året.
Sångaren Jay Buchanan kommenterar följande om de kommande två skivorna:
“In comparison to our previous records, we certainly took our time both writing and recording this collection. When we set out, the intention was mostly to dig as deep as possible. Even in the beginning before the body had formed, we agreed to throw the map away and chop our way through the woods to make a new path. Then lockdown hit and it felt like the whole damn country decided to throw the map away too. For myself, 2022 was like an eight-stage rocket of life changing events, so every time I thought I was finished writing, a new bull would come tearing through the clothesline and I’d have to illustrate it in some way. By the end, there were really two different sides to the same story being told. On one side, you’re fighting the darkness and, on the other, you’re bringing your own light to where there is none. One side in a corner, on the ropes, and the other advancing, cleaning the ring. Without an intermission, a refractory period, the collection would be too big a bite, so splitting it in two was the only way to do it.”
De två skivorna “Darkfighter” och “Lightbringer” är båda producerade av Dave Cobb.
