Oct 02, 2013 HAERTS By Mike Hilleary

Next week on Oct. 8 New York-based ensemble HAERTS will release their debut EP Hemiplegia. Featuring previously shared singles “Wings” and “All the Days,” as well as new tracks “All for You” and “Hemiplegia,” the band has offered a stream of the extended player online via Spotify.

The band has also revealed the cover art for the effort. In a statement by the band the visual is “is based on two images that have been meaningful to us and capture the title, sound and feel of Hemiplegia. Gerhard Richter’s Cloud is the first image we used as band and has always remained significant. In our search for an image for Hemiplegia, we drew from another of Richter’s most haunting works from the 70s, titled I.G.. His treatment of the body, impossibly and eternally suspended in a moment, emotes the sense of paralysis found in the track ‘Hemiplegia.’ This is why we chose to interpret I.G. with a photograph of Nini set against the cloud.”
