As anticipation continues to grow in the run up to the spring release of their second studio album ‘Pretty On The Internet’, British indie / rock outfit The K’s share the records latest single ‘Gravestone’.
Written by the bands lead vocalist Jamie Boyle, and produced by Jim Lowe (Stereophonics, Taylor Swift, The Charlatans) the song delves into themes of existential reflection and the desire for one’s life to have meaningful impact.
Explaining the inspiration behind the tracks meaningful lyric, Boyle says: “‘Gravestone’ is a song I wrote about the internal struggle of wanting to feel like my existence matters. It reflects the hope that, in the end, it will all ‘work out’ and not be ‘for nothing’ and I’ll have done enough to be worthy of being remembered.”
“I think during the writing process I had a moment of realisation to the fact I often put aside the more meaningful, life-affirming aspects of existence like family and relationships to instead spend that time trying to create something to make me one day believe worthy of the love I receive.”
“The song is an honest reflection of a mental battle to try and believe that I have earned the right to exist, a privilege that gets taken away from many more deserving people than me, and that my life will leave a mark that lasts beyond me. It’s an exploration of everything that whizzes around my head from ambition to self-worth and the search for validation.”
Set to be released Friday, June 27th via LAB Records, the group’s sophomore effort is to be produced by Grammy Award winner Jim Lowe (The Dandy Warhols) and mixed by Pete Hutchings (Royal Blood, Foals, Nothing But Thieves).
