British indie pop duo Wings of Desire (made up of James Taylor and Chloe Little) have announced the release of their debut anthology ‘Life Is Infinite‘, alongside new songs “A Gun In Every Home” and “001 [Tame The War, Feed The Fire]“.
Due to be released on December 8, the collection features formative tracks of their opening era, including Be Here Now, and Made of Love. Pre-order your copy here.
Operating at the intersection between pensive reflection and brash catharsis, Wings of Desire’s gritty dream-pop aims to resolve on a life-affirming beat. Unafraid to look beneath the stone and observe an underworld of destructive social tendencies, there is nonetheless an optimism that things can be different.
About “A Gun In Every Home”, they say:
“Surrendering to yourself can be one of the most difficult things to achieve. We have so many mental programs and blocks preventing us from allowing ourselves to just ‘be’. A gun in every home explores the idea of reflecting on one’s shadow in order to break through to the other side. A dark night of the soul, although painful, is a necessary storm we have to go through in order to experience growth and expansion in this incarnation.”
On ‘001 [Tame The War, Feed The Fire]’ they added: “Is it our burning desires which will lead us and our planet to our ultimate destruction? Or will strength, love and unity lead us to a new beginning? A grand reset… our year zero. 001 was a song written before this incarnation of the band. The last few lines giving us the final piece of the puzzle…our name: ‘Tame the war, feed the fire, can’t deny the wings of desire’. Our desires often take over us and have wings of their own. We must eliminate/burn through our desires in order to reach higher states of consciousness. Our attachments can lead us down destructive paths.”
