CROWS
silver tongues
Balley Records
London's cacophonic Crows join the stable of idles frontman joe talbot’s balley records for their full-length debut: an lp that fills the room with throbbing waves of post-punk and charismatic vocal drawls.
Recorded in near total darkness to build a sense of atmosphere, the album fulfils both their early potential and confidently showcases a band comfortable across a variety of sonic avenues. From the monolithic noise-rock of the title track and opener, to the sky-scraping "Demeanour" and "Wednesday's Child", to the blissed-out closer "Dysphoria", each listen reveals new layers, fresh ideas. "Silver Tongues" is a huge step forward for the band, not only musically, but emotionally. Nothing’s too orangey for these crows! This is essential for fans of idles, young widows, and daughters.
