Lushlife - Foreground (Grizzly Bear Cover)

from A Song A Day Subscription by Rough Trade Publishing/Bank Robber Music

subscriber exclusive

about

When I was asked to contribute to Rough Trade Publishing’s ‘A Song A Day To Keep The Pain Away” benefit project, covering Grizzly Bear’s outstanding album cut, Foreground somehow felt like the right starting point. In the moment, I was reacting to the Trump Administration’s Muslim Ban, projecting a song about a relationship falling apart onto man and country. As the administration’s anti-immigrant policies predictably set ablaze a rash of hate crimes against Indian Americans and other minorities (a topic I recently wrote an op-ed about in the Washington Post wapo.st/2mJKhGt), the track’s bookending rhymes about xenophobia and nationalism took on a heightened urgency. Ultimately though, my goal was to reinterpret Grizzly Bear’s plaintive joint with buoyant marching drums and fizzy pop synths to emote something hopeful for these bleak times.
