London brutalists Crows embrace their psychedelic side on ‘Unwelcome Light’ – premiere

The most recent release from north London’s Crows ‘Whisper’ was a powerhouse punk tune with a chanting chorus that seemed to cast the band alongside the likes of METZ or Savages.

However, this latest song ‘Unwelcome Light’, the title track from a forthcoming new EP is something a little bit different. Far more drowsy, more psychedelic, packed with squalling echo. The vocals for this were recorded in a pitch black corridor according to front man James Cox, which gives you an indication of the kind of vibe they’re chasing.

Listen to it below:

The ‘Unwelcome Light’ EP arrives via Telharmonium later this month (25 March).

The foursome have a reputation for being an intense and confrontational experience, they head out on a UK tour later this month kicking off at Glasgow’s Broadcast on 28 March, before taking in Manchester, London, Leeds, Bristol and London.
