The song’s lyrics immediately struck a profound chord with Mulvey, as he explains; “I’ve loved this song since I heard the Wild Beasts original. I’ve always thought it under-appreciated, the lyrics to me read like a Rumi or Hafiz poem, devotional Sufi verse at it’s best. I adore the song and am honoured to cover it. Renaud Letang and I had a wild time in the studio making it, going off-piste for me, muting my guitars and letting the synths, drum machines and vocal harmonies take over.” To arrive at ‘New Mythology’, Nick Mulvey has come a long way – both musically and philosophically.
