New York post-punks Bambara have shared their new single titled Heat Lightning.
It’s the latest track from the band's upcoming studio album Stray, which is set to launch on February 14 through Brooklyn indie Wharf Cat.
Heat Lightning follows lead single Serafina and second single Sing Me To The Street from the follow-up to 2018’s Shadow On Everything.
Bambara's vocalist and guitarist Reid Bateh says: "The album Stray has many reoccurring characters but the most prominent, by far, is Death. For the most part Death is doing his work in the background, or even between other people’s stories, but there are a few songs where I wanted to give him the spotlight.
"Heat Lighting is the first of these songs on record. It’s an introduction to Death in his element, barreling down the highway listening to news of destruction on the radio while stuffing his face with candy. It’s a solitary moment with Death where he can be seen as he is: the kind of guy who laughs wholeheartedly at stupid jokes and yells at the weatherman when he predicts rain.
"Death isn’t in the mood for rain unless it is the beginning of a mythical flood."
