London post punk/psych band Crows have aired their new single “Vision Of Me” and its accompanying video.
The track features of their upcoming third album ‘Reason Enough‘, due to be released on 27th September via Bad Vibrations Records. Pre-order your copy here.
On Reason Enough, the band’s punk spirit remains intact. Sonically, though, they’re more refined and cohesive than ever; it’s the most mature Crows have ever sounded, and it’s also more melodic work than what the quartet have previously done.
James Cox explains, “When writing ‘Vision Of Me’ I was struggling with some unhealthy emotional tendencies that I’d developed over several years. I was exploring my own reactive behaviour and becoming someone I hated, and at the same time, coming to terms with the reasons this happened. It’s a very cathartic song for me as it stirs up some difficult memories, but also shows me how far I’ve come since then, and that the things that took me there are no longer able to hurt me.”
On the video, director Alexandre Do said: “This song made me think of how hard it is to change as a person, how we usually fall back to our own habits. I wanted to see hundreds of clones of James, past versions of him who all do the same thing in an immovable routine. Making this music video was a real feat, but I am ecstatic seeing it on screen and so thankful to all the people who believed in us and the idea.”
