2 months ago Heavy Covenant by The Hold Steady
The Hold Steady have dropped “Heavy Covenant,” the latest single off the band’s forthcoming release
Open Door Policy, available via Positive Jams label via Thirty Tigers on Friday, February 19, 2021. “‘Heavy Covenant’ is a song about travel, technology, and human connection,” says singer Craig Finn. “The song came out of two different music pieces that THS piano/keyboardist Franz Nicolay brought in, and with the help of producer Josh Kaufman, we combined them. It came together quickly, and when our friends Stuart and Jordan came in and added the horns to the chorus it really seemed to bring it together. To us, this song is a great indication of where the band’s sound is at in 2021.”
