Canyons and Locusts have always been one of the more interesting bands we've covered here at If It's Too Loud... The Phoenix and Boston based duo have just released a new single, "Anna Save a Life." This new single is possibly the most straightforward rock song we'll hear from them. It clocks in at just under two minutes, and sounds like either the Ramones playing garage rock or some odd mixture of Husker Du and Guided By Voices. It's a noisy rock song with a DIY feel, but its also weirdly catchy. I can't quite tell if it's more artsy or fun, but I can tell that I really like "Anna Save a Life."
Justin Keane says of his band's latest song:
“'Anna Save A Life’ is a song from the vantage of a guy looking at the pit,” Keane says. “The line at the beginning of the song – ‘neon lights and empty nights, my disgrace’ – is the rosetta stone for this one. This album is the story of a pretty flawed protagonist, himself The Goal Gigolo, who’s made some bad decisions and has gotten himself into trouble trying to help people in his new location. He’s got to go through some shit to get back on his feet again, and he’s looking at that pit he’s about to jump into, but at that same time he’s got enough gallows humor to imagine writing a letter to someone named Anna who might very well save someone’s life – a life, not necessarily his.”
You can listen to "Anna Save a Life" below. The Goal Gigolo is due out in early 2025. For more on Canyons and Locusts, check out the band on Instagram and Facebook.
