Crows preview new album with third single "Garden of England"
Crows have unveiled a third outing from their Beware Believers album titled "Garden of England".
Following the release of "Slowly Separate" and "Room 156", Cros have delivered a third cut from their second record titled "Garden of England", which lands with a Phoebe May and Joe Hofmann-directed video.
Lead singer James Cox says of the release, "This is straight-up our Brexit anthem. Don’t get me wrong, I couldn't care less which way you voted, your vote, your choice. I just hated how much Brexit had become so ingrained in our day to day life. First thing I'd hear about when I woke up and the last thing I’d read before I went to sleep at night. It became all people spoke about. "Garden of England" is more of a comment about the divisiveness it caused, splitting families, friends, widening the north-south divide and empowering nationalism. Public figures' ability to lie publicly and not be held accountable, it's just dangerous dog-whistle politics that doesn't belong in the UK."
Beware Believers will follow Crows' 2019 debut album Silver Tongues. The band had already tracked their second album at London's Fish Factory Studios by early 2020, but when the pandemic hit, recording was put on hold.
Cox said in January, "Once we knew Covid was here to stay, we took the first break we’ve taken since we released our first single "Pray" in 2015. Being locked down for three months unable to finish the last bits of the record was very frustrating but it did mean we could come back to the album with fresh ears and make sure it sounded like it should: a true representation of Crows."
