Canadian group The Besnard Lakes have shared new song "Our Heads, Our Hearts on Fire Again" as the second single from their first album in nearly five years, The Besnard Lakes Are The Last of the Great Thunderstorm Warnings.

"Our Heads, Our Hearts on Fire Again" follows October's lead single "Raindrops".

Discussing the new release, the band says, "This song has been floating around since the Roaring Night era. We could never figure out how to finish it. Well, we figured out how to finish it. It has that 3/4 waltz we love so much, the same 3/4 waltz that "Disaster" rested upon. It’s also a bit of a lament about how sad we were when we parted ways with Jagjaguwar."

They add, "This is the second time Oggy’s lyric "On the other side of the world" is used; here it is to detail the comparison between geography and forensics, and that human beings are detectives of time."

The Besnard Lakes Are The Last of the Great Thunderstorm Warnings will be their first LP since 2016's A Coliseum Complex Museum.

"Our Heads, Our Hearts on Fire Again" is out now. The Besnard Lakes' The Besnard Lakes Are The Last of the Great Thunderstorm Warnings album will arrive 29 January 2021 via Full Time Hobby. Pre-order now.
