About this album

Near To The Wild Heart Of Life refines Japandroids’ celebratory indie rock into a bigger, more deliberate statement without losing the raw charge that made them stand out. Released in 2017, the album finds the Vancouver duo widening their sound with punchier melodies, bracing guitar lines and a stronger sense of arrangement, while keeping the fist-pumping energy and shout-along choruses that define their best work. It marked a move from basement-level catharsis towards something more expansive and reflective, with songs like the title track and True Love And A Free Life Of Free Will showing how the band could stretch their sound without blunting its impact.

Genre: Pop & Rock
