New York trio Horse Jumper of Love share “Gates of Heaven,” a brand new single released on Run For Cover. The song is the first taste of new music since 2023’s acclaimed mini-album, Heartbreak Rules, in which the group forwent their signature waves of fuzz and feedback, and instead highlighted the indelible songwriting at the core of their music. “Gates of Heaven,” recorded at Drop of Sun in Asheville, NC with producer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, MJ Lenderman), finds them back in full force.
“‘Gates of Heaven’ is an old song I had been sitting on since 2015. I wrote it after a painful breakup and also after someone close to me had died,” explains the band’s Dimitri Giannopoulos. “It was a soothing nostalgic melody that I played to help distract myself. When you’re young you think love is everything but I think I was too immature to know what love or death meant. My persecution complex shows strong… I was trying to understand why these things were happening to me instead of trying to understand the pain those close to me were going through.”
Additionally, the band has also shared “Snake Eyes (again),” a full band version of the Heartbreak Rules standout.
