Banks

"To the Hilt"

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Sep 16, 2016

Following a few shadowy dance tracks, Banks is now previewing her forthcoming The Altar collection with a low-key sad ballad called "To the Hilt."

Initially supported by nothing more than a shivered roll of electric piano, the song finds Banks feeling a mix of relationship-minded anger ("hated you for leaving me") and longing regret ("I miss you on my team"). As she further details the mess she's in, a few haunted, textural synth waves float into the arrangement.

You can stream the song below.

"To the Hilt" follow previews for "Gemini Feed," "Mind Games" and "Fuck with Myself." The Altar is out September 30 via Harvest Records.
