Ahead of their upcoming debut album, “Silver Tongues“, Crows have shared new track “Wednesday’s Child“.
The track is the latest to be shared from “Silver Tongues” which is due out on 22nd March via Balley Records – a label which was formed by Joe Talbot of IDLES. Anticipation for the album is at an all-time high after several incendiary live performances, including support slots with Girl Band and Wolf Alice, and a string of singles and EPs.
James Cox, Crows frontman, commented on “Wednesday’s Child” and stated:“This is one of the songs that got me into a really strange head space to write. When writing; I quite often go heavily into research worm-holes – going really deep into subjects I’m curious about until it’s so uncomfortable I’ll have to shelve it for a while.
Wednesday’s Child is fundamentally about our communication with others, focusing on misunderstandings – not only between loved ones but also how we treat strangers.
While I was in this weird research hole I became really obsessed with the idea of mass hysteria – especially in Puritan colonial America and the witch-hunts. Shifting blame onto someone else because you are too afraid to take responsibility is an age-old phenomenon that we will never learn from. I feel that happens today with our society and especially with how the press can demonise the innocent to protect the real evil. People are so easily convinced to attack the defenseless and defend the powerful.”
