It’s time for these shop faves to take flight again and, on their third studio album, they propel their historically adrenaline-fuelled post-punk into fresh territory without compr omising any of their intrinsic grit. “We’re doing the same thing, but a lot better. This is Crows in high definition.” ‘Reason Enough’ is a more melodic work than we’re used to hearing from Crows, “rather than being all-out punk”, as the band’s Steve Goddard puts it. “It feels less lo-fi, cleaner and more well-rounded as a result,” James Cox adds. Lyrically, Cox drew heavily from a difficult year, both personally and in terms of facing up to a weighty news cycle. A general sense of malaise, isolation, unease and a desire for growth in spite of it all permeates ‘Reason Enough’ – an album which strikes a satisfying balance between existentialism, soul-searching, and a discerning brand of indie-rock. Can’t wait to see this translated to a stage - their live shows are something else, and we’ve got the battered boots & purple bruises to prove it!
