Now in their fifth decade as a band, The Church are showing no signs of slowing down with the release of new single ‘Sacred Echoes (Part Two)’.
Following on from last year’s Eros Zeta and the Perfumed Guitars, The Church’s 27th album, ‘Sacre Echoes (Part Two)’ is four minutes of sprawling post-punk magic that builds on the band’s already incredible legacy.
Says Steve Kilbey of the track “Bleak and yet beautiful, ‘Sacred Echoes (Part Two)’ is unlike any previous Church song ever with its almost orchestral climaxes and its sombre mood. The lyrics and voice are the weariness at the point where hope and hopelessness merge. The music is by turns delicate and sparse turning into a churning monstrous racket. Intense, forlorn and exultant!”
