Creative firebrand Manuel Gagneux returns with a brand new Zeal & Ardor single.
“Gravedigger’s Chant” is set for release on Good Friday, 23rd March, and serves as an omen of what’s to come from his forthcoming second Zeal & Ardor album, Stranger Fruit.
With its haunting refrain of “bring the dead body down”, “Gravedigger’s Chant” takes listeners on someone’s final journey. Manuel intones, “The gravedigger’s chant is the song sung by the people who lay your body to rest. These people don’t care where you were, but they know what you did and who loved you. All they know is what lies before them. So they sing this song, since you can no longer breathe a note.”
