THERE’S A LIGHT have announced a new album!
Titled f̶o̶r̶ ̶w̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶m̶a̶y̶ ̶I ̶h̶o̶pe̶? for what must we hope?, the upcoming album from the German post-rock band is their second full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in December this year, making their label debut with Napalm Records.
On the upcoming album, the band intend to take a deeper look at the question of the true meaning of hope as well as at the different facets of it. Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “so, we asked ourselves what hope stands for and what it means to us. We had a lot of conversations within the band about the good but also the bad aspects of hope and our experiences with it. And we got answers and inspiration by history and philosophy. Like Kant who has extremely positive views on this topic – hope is necessity for human existence, it’s not seen by him as a personal but collective thing. This is where the album title came from.
The whole process of creating this album really took us on a journey and we found new ways to express our thoughts and feelings with our music. We took a few trips to France and wrote songs together in a cabin, but we also had to write a lot of parts simultaneously, since we are not living in one city any more. We had the chance to work together with new lovely people but we also reconnected with old partners in crime. All in all it wasn’t an easy journey, but now we made it and are happy and proud to finally release this album with Napalm Records!”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first track lifted from the upcoming album; Elpis.
Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, the band adds, “we’re excited! Not only because this is our first single of the new album but because this is our first music video ever! This song is about Elpis, the personification and spirit of hope in ancient Greece. We put it into another context and wrote a new story. Hope can lead you to false ends, but they were probably there from the start – you just couldn’t see them. To overcome these obstacles is the message of the song, which usually only works if there is hope left.”
