The Band’s 1969 were the long awaited follow-up to 1968’s critically acclaimed debut album Music from Big Pink. But one has to wonder what happened to The Band’s creative output after 1969? Did fame truly stifle the creativity of one of North America’s greatest five peace of all time? Did Helm, Hudson, Manuel and Danko secede all songwriting authority to Robertson? Or did Robbie see an opportunity to give himself a bigger percentage of the song royalties over his band-mates? Will we ever truly unearth what happened to The Band? I have no doubt that Robbie Robertson deserves credit for leading The Band to commercial success.

But that collective harmony was short lived due to the battle for songwriting credit that lingers on, clouding the band’s history with greed, remains apart of the imperfect legacy of North America’s greatest five-piece band. “Jemima Surrender” has this all for one sound that was a reflection of the vivacious unity between the members of The Band, Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel and Rick Danko.

Walk the Moon knows that words are power, and they use them like the greatest superheroes themselves. Like the late-night call you make after months of hesitance, the track details the deterioration of willpower inside one’s mind when reflecting on an old relationship drenched in warm sepia. Already the most stripped-down track on the project, the band posted an Instagram livestream on October 26 of the song without anything but Petricca and a piano, while the fully-produced song launched on Spotify and Apple Music the next day.

“Surrender,” the third single on the album, pairs bass-driven synths with delicate piano notes, creating a ballad that’s meant to feel larger than life itself. During this hiatus, lead singer Nick Petricca took the time to care for his ailing father and explore his sexuality, elements both reflected in the new record.

After the surprising success of their sophomore album, TALKING IS HARD, back in 2014, which included their upbeat, heart-rate-inducing single “Shut Up and Dance,” the group took a three-year break in order to explore their respective lives, cancelling their summer 2016 tour in the process.
