Franz Nicolay: Last News

Frank Turner – listen first on NME below.The new song from the Scottish singer-songwriter is the latest preview of his forthcoming new album ‘Crisis Actor’ – which is available to pre-order now – and follows first single ‘Oblivion’.“It’s a song about drinking too much and drinking too little, holding on and trying to let go,” Liar explained. “Bitter drinks and bitter romance.”“Staring into my glass, I swear the ice cubes are judging me /For what we did or didn’t do in the past I only care that you couldn’t keep loving me,” the artist sings on the rowdy chorus.‘Negroni’ is set in the 1920s prohibition speakeasy cocktail bar that the accompanying Scotland-based video is shot in.

The Hold Steady have shared new song ‘Heavy Covenant’, the second track to be taken from forthcoming album ‘Open Door Policy’.The new song follows last month’s album announcement and the band sharing first single ‘Family Farm’.Singer Craig Finn described ‘Heavy Covenant’ as “a song about travel, technology, and human connection.”“The song came out of two different music pieces that THS piano/keyboardist Franz Nicolay brought in, and with the help of producer Josh Kaufman, we combined them,” he explained.“It came together quickly, and when our friends Stuart and Jordan came in and added the horns to the chorus it really seemed to bring it together.
