modernlove. have shared their new single Until My Heart Stops Beating, their second release since dropping 7-track EP Oh My Mind in July.
The track is accompanied by an official video which features live footage from the band’s recent debut European shows.
Until My Heart Stops Beating finds modernlove. musing on the end of a relationship where both parties are so disinterested that they don’t explain why or point blame.
Speaking about the track, modernlove. explain, “until my heart stops beating is a song about losing feelings. It chronicles the moments of tension leading to a breakup. The lyrical narrative of the song explores arrhythmia and cardiac arrest as metaphors for the end of a relationship and invokes that sudden wrenching feeling when something goes terribly wrong. The song is stark, realistic and unromantic. It’s clear that the relationship is beyond hope and beyond saving. The lyricism and sonic composition of the tune are extremely minimalist, almost as if there’s nothing left to say.
“In keeping with this sober, dejected, minimalist vibe, the song takes its sonic inspiration – such as a simple two-chord structure and monotone droning chorus vocals – from early post-punk artists such as the Cure and Joy Division.”
modernlove. are set to head out on a UK tour in April with eight dates including a Liverpool gig at The Shipping Forecast.
