PRAISES MARCH

Praises have dropped a great new single and video in the form of ‘March’. The solo project of Jesse Crowe now operates as a full band, and shows an impressive gift for slow-burn tracks full of intensity, depth and melody. Ominous lead vocals soar over the restrained texture of the verses, before backing vocals join to craft an otherworldly final few moments. This great track is taken from Praises’ upcoming album, In This Year: Hierophant, which is due for release on June 17th, 2022. On the record, Crowe explains: “This record dances like a storybook, flirting with vignettes of hidden gender, through the birth of a child, a poisonous new world, matriarchal death, and transcendent love. A graduation beyond a solo project." -Dan Peeke.
