It’s a clear-eyed ode to no matter where you’re at, home is with you. Title track and album opener “Near To The Wild Heart Of Life” busts open the doors and announces itself without wasting a single moment. It’s called Near To The Wild Heart Of Life and while it still celebrates youth and dreams, it’s also an ode to finding contentment wherever your feet may land. Nearly five years later King and Prowse are releasing their third album as Japandroids. Leaving it all behind for your dreams, regardless of the cost or who you leave behind. Celebration Rock was packing up and hitting the road. The letting loose of the id as someone in their early 20s. Post-Nothing was the sing-along album, a celebration of youth.
From 2009s Post-Nothing clear through to 2012s breakout Celebration Rock, Japandroids have cultivated this caffeinated, punk-meets-Springsteen-meets-Replacements sweat and blood-stained love letters to getting drunk, falling in love, punching your way through the ether, and doing it all over again the next day. It seems that Brian King and David Prowse have gone full Hooters(the band not the chain store.) They’ve turned their DIY, punk-inspired anthems into full-on roots rockers.
