Jehnny Beth – "Flower"

It’s long been obvious that Jehnny Beth was cooking up a solo album, what with all the singles she’s released on her own since the release Savages’ second album Adore Life back in early 2016. (Most recently, it was “I’m The Man” from the Peaky Blinders soundtrack.)

Now the news is ficial: To Love Is To Live is coming in May. The album features production from Flood, Atticus Ross, and longtime Jehnny Beth collaborator Johnny Hostile. It also has guest features from the xx’s Romy Madley Crt, IDLES’ Joe Talbot, and actor Cillian Murphy the aforementioned Peaky Blinders.

The album is preceded today by a new single called “Flower” inspired by a pole dancer at the Los Angeles strip club Jumbo’s Clown Room. The song builds from a slow-creeping pulse to a rippling, serrated electronic rock track that wrings its power from tension and release. Listen below.
