After a nine-year release hiatus, Crow Black Chicken will release their new album, Ghost Dance, on June 13.
Having released their last studio album in 2016, the Cork/Tipperary blues rockers mark a defining comeback with their forthcoming album, recorded at GAF Studios in Co. Tipperary and produced by the masterful Philip Magee (Aslan, Kodaline, The Script, The Academic).
A powerful new chapter in Crow Black Chicken’s gritty legacy, their sound – like a barrel-aged whiskey – continues to absorb depth and bite without ever having lost its soul. “Bottom Feeders”, the first single from the long-awaited LP, proved a signature hard-rocking track, setting the stage for an unequivocal blues rock album, true to their essence and rooted in classic touchstones of the genre. Listen to the single below.
Second single, “Make it Right”, showcases the broader range of influences within the album; hints of Americana that groove with foot-stomping drums, the smoothest of bass lines and luscious guitar tones.
The album’s focus track, “Hot Molasses” encompasses everything Crow Black Chicken has become – a band renowned for their raw, powerhouse sound fronted by the gravelly, earthful croon of vocalist Christy O’Hanlon, locked in with the groove of bassist Stephen McGrath and drummer Gev Barrett.
Their first studio release since 2016’s Pariah Brothers, the band said of the upcoming album: “Ghost Dance is a really special album to us. It marks almost ten years from our last release – a decade spent rethinking, evolving, and focusing on the live end of things. It’s been a long road, but getting back into the studio and having the chance to work with Philip Magee again – who we worked with for our debut album – has all made it feel like the right time, almost full circle. We’re proud.”
An epic journey of classic blues fused with modern rock, Crow Black Chicken return to full glory – reimagining their roots, honouring past legends and driving the contemporary blues genre forward.
