SpotifyEmily Littler from Street
Chant explains the story of the song.
I had an immense struggle
with writers block during the procrastination station that is Street Chant’s
second LP Hauora. Trying to move forward with getting songwriting part
the album underway I looked back at what for the sake of this paragraph I will
call “lost songs”. The ones that never really came together, or were ditched
for the sake of newer, more relevant material. I wrote Never before Street
Chant was even Mean Street, and it has been performed with all 3 of our
drummers. It has evolved and devolved, been deleted and reborn and twisted
around. The lyrics and title have changed many times, but it has always been
about the same subject: wanting. I am so glad it is finally out. Street Chant have released two previous singles
from Hauora -
Pedestrian Support
League and
Sink.
For
those with hazy memories, the release of debut album Means in 2010 set
in motion a small Auckland tremor that unravelled into a rolliking roller
coaster. This included international tours including with The Lemonheads, Dead Weather, local
slots at Laneway, The Big Day Out, a
tour with David
Saunders playing The 3ds, numerous tours up and down New
Zealand, an underdog victory winning the Critics Choice, various other award
nominations and no shortage of trouble in-between. In 2013 Street Chant
released an EP Isthmus
if One-Thousand Lovers, then mostly kept themselves busy
finishing off their album.
