BNQT—a supergroup comprised of members of Midlake, Grandaddy, Band of Horses, Franz Ferdinand, and Travis—will release their debut album, Volume 1, on April 28 (via Dualtone/Bella Union). The latest offering from the album is a new song called “Unlikely Force.” In a statement, the group’s Eric Pulido said, “‘Unlikely Force’ was the first of all the album tunes that we worked on and a guinea pig of sorts. We wanted a lush ’70s feel good vibe and Ben [Bridwell]’s song was a perfect foundation to build upon. It ultimately set the precedent for what was to come!” Listen to it below.
BNQT features Midlake members Eric Pulido, McKenzie Smith, Joey McClellan, and Jesse Chandler. Joining them are four singers: Band of Horses’ Ben Bridwell, Franz Ferdinand’s Alex Kapranos, Grandaddy’s Jason Lytle, and Travis’ Fran Healy.
