Establishing the mood with a textured drum riff, a dimensional bassline and cosmic melody with psychedelic adjacency, Lee Feather and The Night Movers open The Gods That You Pray To with an atmospheric spoken word call to action as Lee invites us to, “Pull up the blinds, it’s time that you got some sunlight into your cold soul…”

The topic of the song is immediately captivating. Lee’s delivery feels assertive and cerebral, inviting us to reflect on our lived reality and the state of society. There is poetic prowess with his intentional message. The choral harmonies are sublime, euphoric and divine – aligned with the concept of the hook.

There is no doubt that The Gods That You Pray To has a cinematic allure – perfect for a montage scene in a movie like a sequel to Trainspotting or a coming of age TV series like This Town. Lee’s prose holds philosophical conscious depth, and almost feels like listening to Alan Watts or Dolores Cannon in the way that he speaks about the universe and the power that we hold within as the architects of our reality.

The Gods That You Pray To is an anthemic, gospel-tinged track that is anchored by its hypnotic synth hook and raw emotion. In essence, the song explores what it means to lift someone up when they’ve hit rock bottom. It feels optimistic and cathartic.

Following the momentum of their earlier singles, the band continues to defy genre. It is clear that Lee Feather and The Night Movers are the product of a ’90s kid turned poet digging through his record collection to make something truly his own.

The result is eclectic, emotional and instinct-driven. With this third release, they invite us into a world where sincerity meets experimentation, and where even in the darkest moments, the light can still break through.

We have added The Gods That You Pray To to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Lee Feather and The Night Movers, including The Death of Grandiosity, and No Refunds (At The Pleasure Dome).
