Grammy-winning band GRETA VAN FLEET have released the official music video for single, “Heat Above“. It is the third track released from their forthcoming sophomore studio album, “The Battle At Garden’s Gate”, produced by Greg Kurstin (Paul McCartney, FOO FIGHTERS, Adele) and due out April 16 (Lava/Republic Records). “Heat Above“ is an ethereal track that opens with a Hammond B3 seeping in slowly to set the tone for a triumphant sonic build.
“There’s plenty of love left in this world, even though it may not seem like it,” said Sam Kiszka, bassist/keyboardist for GRETA VAN FLEET. “And that’s what ‘Heat Above’ is about, rising to the stars together.”
GRETA VAN FLEET added: “‘Heat Above‘ is theatrical, eloquent, and exaggerated. This is a dream in the clouds, a moment of peace in the storm. Thematically, we are dead center in the cult of Heaven, surreal, strange and free.”
A bold evolution from the band’s 2018 full-length debut “Anthem Of The Peaceful Army”, “The Battle At Garden’s Gate” came together primarily on the road or while in the studio after the runaway success of 2017’s “Highway Tune” led to the band packing up, leaving home, and eagerly soaking up new experiences on an extended road trip around the world.
“The Battle At Garden’s Gate” is a reflection of GRETA VAN FLEET‘s journey into the present. With string orchestras, explorative songs, and the band building a visual story with every track, it has an elevated elegance unseen yet from the young band. It explores the boundaries of the group’s artistry, with physical copies of the record featuring a stunning 16-page booklet full of mythical, transcendent visuals and metaphysical symbols for each track.
In three years, GRETA VAN FLEET (Josh Kiszka on vocals, Jake Kiszka on guitars, Sam Kiszka on bass and keyboards, and Danny Wagner on drums) went from touring the grimy rock bars of Detroit and Saginaw to headlining shows on five continents with audiences triple their hometown’s population. The band that once attracted crowds of teens to improvised forest concerts, have now sold over one million tickets worldwide.
