Time to open up the evening hymnal again.\u00a0 After glossing over this band for entirely too long, and posting their video for Family Tree<\/strong><\/em> only yesterday, there seems to be a conspiracy afoot to keep Toronto band Evening Hymns<\/strong> in the forefront of our musical minds.\u00a0 Today the band pointed to a new video directed by Neil Haverty<\/strong> for their song Spirit in the Sky<\/strong> <\/em>off of their haunted and haunting\u00a0Spectral Dusk<\/strong> album.\u00a0 According to the band, the album “is a study of loss, pain, and hope and a pathway drawn out of the dark into the light. Spectral Dusk<\/em><\/strong> finds Jonas Bonnetta<\/strong> dealing, through music, with the loss of his father three years ago.”\u00a0 Let the record and video show you below.\u00a0 Bonneta recently had this to say about Spirit in the Sky<\/strong><\/em>:\u00a0 “This song was written as an intro into \u2018Irving Lake Access Road\u2019. I wrote a big list of things I related to Dad. Images of us as kids playing with him. Swimming, hiking, fishing. Just meditated on my youth with brothers. The idea was for the song to be dreamlike and have the long string piece wash in and take it away. To carry it out to sea.”\u00a0 It’ll carry you away if you’re not careful.<\/p>\n
