Here it is! "Hurricane J", the first single from the new Hold Steady album, Heaven Is Whenever. (It's out May 4 in North America on Vagrant and May 3 on Rough Trade in Europe.) Frontman Craig Finn may have called the new album "less anthemic" in a press release, but you wouldn't know it from "Hurricane J".
