About

‘Montreal (Watch Me Bending)’ sees Seán Grant and the Wolfgang return with the first colossal cut from forthcoming album ‘333’ – a daring dose of darkgaze that treads a new path to enlightenment. This cabal of conjurors preach a message of personal power, self-discovery and the triumph of the mind, while a synth-straddling epic dabbles in the dark arts and swells with gothic glory, until a preternatural explosion rips at the fabric of the known cosmos.
Anything is possible and Seán Grant documents his own personal transformation following the dissolution of the Wolfgang’s original incarnation.
“I had to re-learn life,” says the enigmatic frontman, who discovered meditation, and delved into the teachings of different religions, philosophies, ancient civilisations, and long-forgotten knowledge, as part of his existential exploration.
“Transformed, transcending, watch me bending,” sings Grant of his steps along a more spiritual path, which discounts nothing and wonders at everything. The alternative, he ponders, is to “join the sheep in Montreal” – a reflection on following the flock that famously roam the Canadian city’s Parc Maisonneuve.
“With life, you have to go with the bends and the curves, like the path or
the river. And if you stand too rigid then the more likely you’ll get damaged or hurt, I don’t know everything, but I’m learning. I think that’s the way you have to live. ‘Montreal’ and the new album feels like I’m starting to understand this more.”
