The Hold Steady’s new album Heaven Is Whenever was finally released this past Tuesday. I am still diving into it fully, but I am certainly liking it. One of the bonus tracks that came from iTunes pre-orders is “Ascension Blues”, and it recently surfaced.
“Ascension Blues” is a crisp rocker that sounds like it would fit perfectly on Heaven Is Whenever. It features some pretty major guitar work and strings that tug on all of the dramatic heart strings. Craig sings that “we will all be friends in heaven”, and how can you not believe him.
If you haven’t bought the new album already, purchase it from Insound on Vinyl or CD.
