Duchovny's upcoming album Every Third Thought is due for release on Feb. 9 and the alt-rocker released the ethereal single "Half-Life" today (Jan. 22) in promotion of the upcoming LP.
Equipped with blaring riffs, a crooning synth melody, and a gentle acoustic guitar, the sci-fi actor's album mixes love and science, with Duchovny singing subtly about the unconditional love. "Unconditional love decays, only fossilized hearts can break. Every piece is indivisible."
“I find poetry in science," Duchovny told Billboard. "Things like The Heisenberg principle or Schroedinger's cat — things like this. The phrase half life and the fact that it refers to radioactive decay or decay struck me as a poetic and wonderfully ambiguous place to start a song about life and love.”
Along with the release of the album, Duchovny is set to embark on a short tour across Australia and New Zealand. The tour begins on Feb. 20 in Auckland, NZ and concludes on Mar. 1 in Brisbane, AU.
