Crows - Beware Believers

Back in 2019, after their debut album Silver Tongues had received a warm response, with momentum behind them London rock outfit Crows immediately set to work on the follow-up.

You can assuredly guess the initial reason for the delay, but such is the way of the modern rock star that, without the capability to tour the record, there seemed little point in releasing a new album even as restrictions began to lift.

Now, with ‘normality’ returned (just ignore the spiralling COVID infections), and the light previously found at the end of the tunnel dazzling in its ubiquity, the time is nigh to unleash Beware Believers upon the world.

In my interview with them last month, the band spoke of strings and tweaks, but fans can rest assured that no rough edges have been smoothed away.

Opening track ‘Closer Stil'l’ starts fuzzily before bludgeoning the listener as frontman James Cox’s voice rises from the depths like Lucifer to deliver a sweet chorus above the hurricane roaring beneath him.
