Words - Joe Ponting
Reason Enough out 27th September 2024 via Bad Vibrations
Crows are;
James Cox (vocals), Steve Goddard (guitar), Jith Amarasinghe (bass) and Sam Lister (drums),
On the recording of the album;
“Having a more relaxed approach this time around meant we could explore different stuff,” Goddard says. “We don’t want to sound the same as we did before – this is our third album, we have to move on. And so we fucked around a bit more.”
On recent single, Is It Better?;
“It’s a homage to the friends and my family who helped guide me get through it. It’s also a reflection on having gone through something and not coming out unscathed - dealing with the damage I picked up along the way, and accepting my new reality." (James Cox)
Listen to ‘Is It Better?’ HERE
Working once again with
Manoela Chiabai (Tove Lo, SG Lewis, FLO, Depeche Mode, IDLES, Future Islands) for the video, he says
“When I heard 'Is it better?', I thought there was something so incredibly absurd about the lyrics and the title that poses an impossible question. I started to think about a man that feels dead inside and just wants to escape life, but not even at his own funeral he can find peace, and as such he finds himself in some sort of a loop.
This attempt to divorce ourselves from the world is actually what represents the inescapable human condition. As the song is very catchy and upbeat, leaning into the absurd with ridiculous humour and playfulness was fun and interesting to explore - having Crows as cameos getting into the most stupid fight ever over a double dipper was so gratifying! It was by far one the funniest experiences I've ever had on set.”
