Heaven is the first new material to emerge from the Brooklyn-based band since the release of their debut album, 'Guppy', in 2017.
Vocalist and guitarist Eva Hendricks' vocals are as distinctive as ever but less sugary sweet than before, while here the band lean heavily on their grunge influences. It must be part of the new phase she talks about in the statement below.
"'Heaven' is one of the first songs I wrote after Guppy, and to me it sounds like the ending of one phase of our sound before we knew what was going to come next. We played it live every night of our album release tour and it was really incredible to see the way people reacted to and connected with the song. It's our first love song, and I basically had to force myself to write the lyrics as a songwriting challenge to myself. I think I was always worried that songwriting was something that only existed to me as a coping mechanism, and that once I was happy I wouldn't have anything interesting to say or write about. I'm proud of the sweetness and simplicity of this song, and we're super happy to release it finally!"
Charly Bliss will support Death Cab For Cutie later this month and throughout October on their US tour.
