This week Krill unveiled Secret Language, their first full-length release in more than ten years. The Boston group had already issued tracks such as “Commemorative Plaque,” “Dominate,” and “Hawaii,” and now they return with the album’s titular track, featuring Maria Jacobson of Fran on background vocals and Macie Stewart on violin.
Furman describes the song as a meditation on his family and the act of tucking his son into bed. He notes that the opening lines play on the well-known Goodnight Moon bedtime phrase, spoken backwards, a trick he often uses with his kids that tends to drive them nuts. Beyond that playful detail, the track centers on a desire to understand those closest to you on a deep level, to sense what they mean without words, and, once the children are asleep, to depict what it feels like to be in love within a marriage as observed by him and his wife.
Watch below.
Secret Language is scheduled for release on 11/13 via Exploding In Sound.
