New Ladyhawk - War - MP3

Here's some more Canadian rawk for you, and an explanation of the song that maybe you can decipher better than me.

Life is full of ups and downs. Sometimes you get up just to get down again. Sometimes you run just to feel the wind against your face, and sometimes you stand still to watch things crumble around you.

Vancouver's Ladyhawk knows this. And they got up - way up - and entered a recording studio for a day-long session between tours last month. Perhaps they soared too close to the sun, like moths drawn into the flame only to fall away again into the shadows, their wings singed. They gathered their burned and broken instruments about them, and limped their way home, rearranging the pieces and sounds haphazardly, letting things lay where they fell along the way. The end result was a 6-song series of songs recorded spontaneously in various states of consciousness. The sound of four brothers breaking something down to create something new, reaching into the fire again.

We've been calling it the Mushroom Session. The band has yet to officially name it, but we've threatened to release it regardless of title. The band has given us their thumbs up to make one of these magical tracks available now as a download. You can download this track "War" here:

In other Ladyhawk news:

We're really stoked about a new homestyle video which landed in our laps like a mysterious space egg. It's for Ladyhawk's stellar tune "My Old Jacknife" and definitely inspired us to hit the clubs to shake something last weekend when Ladyhawk was in town.

Is that Kelly Osbourne?
