The single, which premiered tonight (February 24) on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music 1 show, is named for a play on the epithet Land of Saints and Scholars, often given to Ireland.

t takes influence from Detroit hip-hop as the trio look back and reminisce over the island’s history. With the sound of sirens permeating and a thick, low-end bass riff anchoring the track, it’s an intense, exhilarating listen.

“Ya think it’s all poetry and clovers, when it’s raincoats and police Land Rovers / Salt of the earth, looking over their shoulder, someone shot in turn, chopper hovering over,” the lyrics run. [Source]
