Japandroids share new single, "D&T"
Vancouver duo Japandroids have shared new single, "D&T", as the latest preview of their fourth and final chapter, Fate & Alcohol.
When asked about the song’s origins, King explains: “We had been on the road for a year and a half, and the plan was to wrap-up our riot of indulgence with a four-night stand in Philly. We arrived early, exhausted and disheveled, voices shot, hearts parched, and while we had every intention of easing into it, someone inevitably called all-hands-to-the-bar and away we went.
One before breakfast eye-opener turned into two and pretty soon I was pleasantly jingled, With soundcheck still hours away, I decided that a walk was in order and slipped outside under the guise of a cigarette. Half a block later, I was stopped by an intangible stranger who politely remarked that he had seen plenty of drinkin' johnnies and cokey joes aimlessly exploring the streets of Philadelphia, but I took the cake. He prescribed Jesus and water, which I solemnly acknowledged. Sheepishly, I returned to my stool and upon seeing my reflection in the mirror behind the bar became wistful and started writing.”
After three albums, 2009's Post-Nothing, 2012’s Celebration Rock and 2017’s Near to the Wild Heart of Life, Brian King (guitar, vocals) and Dave Prowse (drums, vocals) have decided to part ways. "D&T" follows recent single, "Chicago".
