The Darkness have premiered a new video for their new song “Heart Explodes.” This track is from the band’s new album “Easter Is Cancelled,” which will be released on October 4.
Frontman Justin Hawkins said the following about the “mini-rock opera”:
“It’s about the despair of change. Having to reappraise your life and what you’re holding on to. It’s like that feeling when you just want to go for a swim and keep going. Wanting to be enveloped by something that will gradually pull you down. If you really, really want to survive that process, you can. We’ve all been there — people who say they haven’t are lying.”
Guitarist Dan Hawkins added:
“The difference between The Darkness’ sadness and other bands’ sadness is that we don’t wallow in it. Even when it’s sad, there’s a playfulness to it.”
