Last month, Horse Jumper Of Love announced a new album, So Divine, with the great Poison. “We’re another month out of the release of the album, and today the Boston trio is sharing another new track,” Airport. “It’s syrupy and sinister, building an interlocking set of rattled bones and mangled chords of guitar.” It’s a complicated lock / with my clothes off I feel invisible, “sings Dimitri Giannopoulos, his voice as far away as singing from the great beyond.” I’ve been crawling into the ceiling panels / and feeling at the airport.
“John and I walked back to my apartment somewhere one night in 2014 and he told me he was reading this article about a person at Logan airport who fell through a ceiling,” the band said in a statement. “We went to my place and watched Begotten’s experimental horror film. It made me feel a certain way and I wanted to capture the surreal image so I took the story John told me and tried to make my own vague ominous version of it. We started playing the song live around then and the pacing and tone of this track took us about five years to get right. We recorded it in the studio two separate times.
