However you choose to take on the world backed by “Near to the Wild Heart of Life,” the chorus assures you that your entire hometown has your back. Near to the Wild Heart of Life is the third studio album by the Canadian rock duo Japandroids, released on January 27, 2017, by ANTI. For them, the key is letting their arena-rock DNA express itself. It's a quintessential Japandroids song, anti-nostalgia that encourages you to figure out what you want out of life and how to make it happen this moment. The gilding guitars, the echoing group vocals, the mythical retelling of their own origin story- this is all very Sunset Strip, and Japandroids have been repping Guns N’ Roses as long as they have the Replacements. A new Japandroids record feels like hero’s return rather than the incremental progress from a beloved band under these circumstances. In their absence, the supposed obsolescence of capital “R” rock and the often-suffocating earnestness of indie rock have reigned supreme in 2016. Japandroids is a two-piece band from Vancouver, BC., which began in 2006 and consists of Brian King and David Prowse. Still, five years is still a long time, and as with their previous record, Japandroids wisely recognized that simply letting life happen is their best way of updating the format, especially during a suspiciously long gestation period that included new romantic relationships for both King and Prowse and a new label.
