Speaking about the track, Bandit Heart said, “Shield was a very special song to record for me. It was written about how falling in love (and out of love) comes in waves. I grew up obsessed with one of Enya’s most famous records, which had “Only Time” and “Wild Child” on it. So, Jared Corder (Polychrome Ranch) and I wanted to really dig into the meat of what made her stand out in that time and even now. So we recorded nearly 60 different vocal tracks on 5 different mics and blended them all together. For me this song is a dream-like sequence that really feels like a pounding heart inside of a chest. I love how the beat just takes my ears over in an almost hypnotic wave”.
Bandit Heart is nostalgic grandiose bedroom pop. Think Lana meets Sufjan in the echelon of folk music and 070 Shake. Bandit Heart was founded by Troy Akers of Nashville, TN in 2015. He has had his songs featured on shows like ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ ‘Pretty Little Liars,’ and ‘Reign.’ Since August of 2022, Akers has been recording new music at Polychrome Ranch outside of Nashville with Jared Corder and releasing content monthly. The music of Bandit Heart is ever-evolving as will the new music on the way deep into 2024.
