Heavy Covenant will feature on the rock veterans' eighth studio album, 'Open Door Policy', which is due out on February 19.
Following first cut Family Farm, the song features frontman Craig Finn's trademark storytelling vocals atop a rousing soundscape that complements but never overwhelms. Finn said:
"'Heavy Covenant' is 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. 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. To us, this song is a great indication of where the band’s sound is at in 2021."
