CRAWLERS announce details of their debut album, The Mess We Seem To Make
Alongside the announcement, Liverpool four-piece CRAWLERS also share the video for their new single "Would You Come To My Funeral" which launched as Radio 1’s Hottest Record.
Directed by Callum Lloyd-James, the video features the quartet acting as pallbearers at a funeral which takes an unusual turn of events.
Speaking about The Mess We Seem To Make, singer Holly Minto says, “This album debut comes from us honing our craft, being vulnerable with each other, finding our sound and saying exactly what we wanted to. I think that's a lot of what the Crawlers sound is, being honest with each other about how to get the correct emotions out - trying, failing, and pushing each other to keep playing and writing to the limits.”
True to their word The Mess We Seem To Make takes on a whole range of challenging topics; trauma, sexual politics, mental health, the general goings on in a young person’s life. Across the record, feelings of loneliness, insecurity and toxic forms of dependence are held up to the light and examined in close context.
Working with producer Pete Robertson and engineer Tom Roach at Liverpool’s Coastal Studios, crafting anthemic rock songs where each member's playing personality can truly thrive, their forthcoming debut album follows the 2022’s mixtape, Loud Without Noise.
CRAWLERS formed in 2018 and spent their first couple of years honing their live reputation by playing intimate shows around their home turf of Merseyside. It’s an approach that paid off over the past year, when everything has stepped up a notch or five for the band with their intoxicating live set wowing crowds at Glastonbury and Download across the summer, a period in which they also supported YUNGBLUD at Eden Project, Cornwall. The band recently completed a triumphant headline tour of the UK which saw them perform to a sold-out crowd at London’s Heaven.
CRAWLERS' debut album, The Mess We Seem To Make is set for release on 16 February via Polydor Records, and is available to pre-order.
