After the roaring success of Lonely the Brave’s comeback single, ‘Bound’, you’d be forgiven for wondering whether the follow up could possibly stand up to it. It was the first track featuring new vocalist Jack Bennett and it. Was. Phenomenal.
Now we can finally relax and put aside any fears, as the Cambridge based band are back once more with another hugely emotional track, ‘Distant Light’. The track showcases the band’s unwavering talent, further cementing Bennett’s strong, husky tones as an integral part of Lonely the Brave moving forwards.
It’s an odd time to be writing and recording music, not least for this five-piece who are not only continuing to finalise their third album, but two of their members have also been working with the NHS to support the UK through the current pandemic.
The band had the following to say about their decision to continue releasing new material:
“We find ourselves in trying times at present. As some of you will know, some of us are NHS key workers and as a result we know health and wellbeing is so incredibly important. The situations recently have shed a light & awareness of how we can all do our bit to ensure we’re acting with caution but also positively.
Escapism through music, film, art and literature is a huge thing for us, and we hope you guys too. With that in mind, we wanted to share “Distant Light”, a song we finished off during this isolation period. We hope some of you can borrow from it.
Let’s look after each other.”
