US/UK enigmatic indie wave/pop-funk newcomer Lazarus Kane has premiered his new single "Night Walking ".
"Night Walking" was originally written as a Bond theme for ‘Live And Let Die’ back in 1973, however it lost out to Paul McCartney and Wings, whose ingenious use of the surprise reggae section was the cherry on top for Sir Roger Moore. Although 47 years has passed, Kane has not let go of ‘Night Walking’ stating ‘I think I actually wrote this for Saturday Night Fever, but I ended up sending it to the wrong studio. My bad’. Now, with the wonders of modern technology, the song has been re-recorded and updated with the latest specs. Strap in people, it’s about to get weird.
The song is out today (May 12). Get it here and stream it below.

Speaking about it, the band explain: “It’s not a secret that we enjoy occasionally using drugs recreationally, in the past they’ve helped guide us creatively and personally. But this song is about the darker side of drugs, when they become habits. It’s about the tough spot that stuff can put you in, beyond the isolated experience of briefly having a good time while you’re using them. You spend all your money, ruin your body, and don’t get anything out of it except for a fun night.”
