Female-fronted, multi-instrumentalist power trio The Accidentals (Sav Buist, Katie Larson, and Michael Dause) have released their newest single, “Heavy Flag.” Produced by Grammy-award winning producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Lana Del Rey, The Decemberists), “Heavy Flag” is a focused combination of edgy indie rock, intelligent arrangement, and deeply compelling lyrics.
Buist muses, “I wrote “Heavy Flag” thinking about our future, the weight and responsibility of our generation to care for our resources. While I was writing the song, I had a book open to the famous photo “Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima”. The weight of that flag being both physical and psychological struck me as a powerful statement. The time for that statement is now.”
“Heavy Flag” speaks to the cost of societal apathy and invites the listener to find their own voice.
