Bald ist es endlich soweit. Am 13. Februar feiern Howling Bells nach 12 Jahren ihr Comeback in Albumlänge. Nach einigen neuen Singles, haben wir natürlich wieder angefangen in die alten Songs reinzuhören. Man kann nicht sagen, dass die neuen Lieder besser sind, aber sie klingen frischer, aber auch vertraut, so auch die neue Single ‚Chimera‘.

Juanita erklärt uns den Song: „Chimera is a strange word. It means a few different and curious things; in this context, however, I’m using it to mean something of an absurd nature, unattainable, a fantasy. Such is the relationship we have with music at times. This song speaks to my experience as a musician, surviving the perpetual ups and downs of the game. But if you’re lucky enough, you have someone who can cut through the noise and help you realise that the fantasy is half the joy. That the longing is part of the journey and that our achievements along the way are deeply meaningful. At its core, ‚Chimera‘ is a song about hope and relinquishing control“.
