Living Hour have released their new EP, Magnet.
The four-track release is a collection of b-sides and previously unearthed demos from last year's Internal Drone Infinity, one of ten Canadian albums nominated for The Meridian Prize, being awarded next weekend, as part of BreakOut West.
The quintet shared a dreamy visualizer for the lulling track, “Good Afternoon.”
The bundle of phrases that make up the EP are from an incubation period of a lot of TV, projecting movies for work, and general dissociative activities. “I was thinking about how people are magnets if they want to be. Attracting what they think about most, interact with or watch on screens,” says lead singer and lyricist Sam Sarty. The band previewed with the EP's title track “Magnet” earlier this month, and Sam expands more on “Half Can,” noting; “At the beginning of the song, I get the image in my mind about a flat, straight ahead, snowy, dark highway going for infinity converging to an ominous black point, high beams flashing sheets of snow blowing across the cement in front of a truck.”
