Singled Out: Gainsay's Hiroshima
.
Ukrainian based duo Gainsay are releasing their new single "Hiroshima" this Friday (Oct 14) to celebrate we asked both Ivan and Vova to tell us about the track, which will be on their forthcoming "Close" EP. Here is the story: Ivan: "Hiroshima" was initially a rock-ballad solo record with Russian lyrics from 2012. It is the last song I wrote in Russian so it's all about closure and farewell. I tried to put some David Sylvian influence into the arrangement. One close friend told me that the chord progression in the refrain sounds impossible, but I just hear this way. I recorded this song and kind of forgot about it for a while. But after we started Gainsay, one day Vova sent me his translation of the "Hiroshima" lyrics. That was really a huge surprise, so I reworked the whole arrangement to fit Vova's voice. Now it sounds minimalistic, and more focused. You know� I've fallen in love with this song all over again. Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the EP right here!
