Belfast band Lord Jane are back with their latest-offering ‘It’s Been Too Long’, a vibrant and hard-hitting post-punk tune.

Juxtaposing dark and moody lyrics with an upbeat instrumentation of carefully crafted guitar lines and lively rhythmic section, the track offers a nostalgic nod to bands like Paramore.

‘It’s Been Too Long’ tackles the economics of grappling with addiction and substance abuse, climaxing on a guttural bridge supported by Clodagh May’s emotional vocals.

Speaking of the track, guitarist Sam Foote stated "’It’s Been Too Long’ really epitomises this band’s meaning and overall sound, delving into dynamically rich play of soft guitar tones into an explosive finale of aggression built up throughout.

“The song, both lyrically and socially, represents a war against a person’s crux and its effects. Whereas the song is about the fight against addiction dependence, the singular chorus represents one succumbing to their crux, the outro groove is the sweet embrace to that enslavement."

Produced and mixed by Carl Small and recorded in Analogue Catalogue Studios, the track marks Lord Jane’s second offering, following the release of their debut single ‘I Did It To Myself.’

The band will be playing on June 15 in Derry’s The Nerve Centre, supporting Problem Patterns.
