I Give You Power

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Teaming up with legendary gospel and soul singer Mavis Staples, the Canadian indie rock stalwarts released this brooding track on the eve of a controversial U.S. presidential inauguration. Proceeds from the song were directed to the American Civil Liberties Union, underscoring its explicit political intent. The arrangement relies on a murky, pulsating analog synthesizer riff that heavily contrasts with the band's typically grandiose organic instrumentation.
