From the quiet streets of Möckmühl, Germany, to the lively music scene of London, Larusta, the brainchild of musician Jan Knandel, has set out on a remarkable journey. Marked by twists and turns, relocations, and diverse musical ventures, Larusta discovered comfort and inspiration in the bustling streets of the UK capital.
London became the sanctuary where Larusta’s unique musical vision, dubbed ‘dark lyrical alternative’, began to take shape. Alongside his band, The Dead Dogs, Larusta discovered a receptive audience for their original musical output, captivating crowds in venues across the city.
Introducing Larusta & The Dead Dogs to the world in 2019, the band made waves with their debut single, “In a Daze“. Building on this momentum, they followed up with two more singles in 2020 and 2021, solidifying their place in the music scene.
After a hiatus from releasing original material, Larusta & The Dead Dogs are ready to make a successful comeback with their debut full-length record, “The Life You Save May Be Your Own“, set for release this autumn. To kick off this new chapter, the band introduces the title track from the album with their latest single, “The Life You Save May Be Your Own“.
“The Life You Save May Be Your Own” is a haunting exploration of loss and madness, drawing listeners into a world of dark spheres and inner struggle. Reflecting Larusta’s own experiences of isolation and depression during the pandemic, the song engulfs audiences in a narrative of deep emotion and contemplation.
Opening with bold piano notes, Larusta’s expressive vocals take center stage, weaving theatrical melodies and storytelling lyricism. As the arrangement builds with the addition of drums and cello, the song crescendos into a powerful chorus, bursting with anthemic rock energy. The track’s woozy and hypnotic quality creates an immersive experience, inviting the audience to explore its emotional depths.
The accompanying music video, directed by Alex Christidis and Larusta himself, further enhances the song’s intensity. Set in a dated living room, the video captures the band’s impassioned performance, mirroring the raw emotion of the track.
With “The Life You Save May Be Your Own“, Larusta & The Dead Dogs deliver a sensational new song that showcases their songwriting prowess and original sound. As anticipation mounts for their debut album, this single sets the stage for what promises to be a compelling musical journey.
