Multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Marla Hansen (The National, Sufjan Stevens) returns with her new single "Chains". Taken off her forthcoming album "Salt", the single is driven by a gliding bass line, bobbing 808 snares, deep chords and a mesmerizing chorus doubled by Hansen's luscious strings, marking the beginning of a new chapter in her creative journey.
lyrics
It’s such a big surprise when they all look to you
But they’re just saying things that you already knew
It’s not the kind of thing you want to wake up to
So you just shake your chains and say it’s all too soon
It’s waiting there for you
All that’s left is you
All that’s left is you
It’s time you asked yourself just what you want to do
You built this up now you just have to see it through
It’s waiting there for you
All that’s left is you
It’s waiting there for you
All that’s left is you
All that’s left is you
This will make for a great addition to any indie rock collection, especially the first half of the album. Straight bangers at the front of this one. jaylecavalier
Favourite is probably actually "No Such Thing", but that isn't an option for some reason. Saw it live and was intrigued enough to be here. The arrangements are so carefully considered. forayslistener
