Tired Cossack has shared a video for new song "Lilac Pain," the Winnipeg songwriter's first new track since releasing his debut full-length Hocus Pocus last year.
The new single is a darkly romantic, bittersweet ode to love in all its myriad forms; built on a driving rhythm and some richly textured, purple-hued guitar work, it's a deepening of the shoegaze-stained post-punk that Tired Cossack explored on Hocus Pocus.
In a statement about "Lilac Pain," Tired Cossack's Stephen Levko said the song is about love "as a source of comfort and security but also desperation and anxiety. The title of the song is drawn from that duality — "'Lilac Pain' is a certain kind of hurt that has its root in something beautiful."
