At this time of year, we can get a little nostalgic. It’s colder, the nights are longer, and it’s time to huddle into warm pubs for cosy chats over some mulled wine. Feldspar’s single “Hang Your Head” is equally reflective, but their message is a little more political, perhaps a little heavy for this time of year, but it’s important nonetheless and we should take heed.
“Hang Your Head” is the final single that completes the four single set to promote their Compass Tour. Singer Will Green explains the premise behind the single, “It’s anger at the way a select few have turned the most basic of human needs, having a roof over our heads, into a way to get rich and thereby suppress the rest of the population.” A very poignant message and one we should remember as we’re huddled in the comfort of our own homes this Christmas—not everyone is as fortunate.
The single itself is a passionate statement of intent and one of the band’s best of the Compass Tour singles. Hopefully we’ll hear more of that in 2015.
