Lifeguard – the Chicago trio made up of bassist and vocalist Asher Case, drummer and percussionist Isaac Lowenstein, and guitarist and vocalist Kai Slater – have shared a new single, ’17-18 Lovesong’. It comes alongside the announcement of their debut release for Matador, Crowd Can Talk + Dressed in Trenches, which pairs the previously released Crowd Can Talk EP with the new, five-track collection Dressed in Trenches. Check out a video for ’17-18 Lovesong’ below, along with Lifeguard’s upcoming tour dates.
“More than old records – before that, before anything – we’re influenced by live shows and people around us,” Slater said in a press release, with Lowenstein adding: “The inspiration comes from playing shows with people and having that mind-blown moment of seeing some friend play at Schubas or Book Club. It’s happening on these tiny little scales of seeing kids play live and [knowing] this is something new and interesting.”
