Hold onto your hats, music lovers! The Black Crowes are back with a brand new album, A Pound of Feathers, and they're wasting no time! Following up on the heels of their 2024 release, Happiness Bastards, the band is already gearing up to drop their latest creation on March 13th.
Before the album even hits the shelves, The Black Crowes have gifted us with a sneak peek, unveiling the singles "Profane Prophecy" and "Pharmacy Chronicles." Talk about a quick turnaround after a 14-year wait for the previous album!
Lead singer Chris Robinson shared some insights into the making of A Pound of Feathers, revealing that the album was crafted in a whirlwind eight to ten days. He described the process as a natural evolution, building on the energy of Happiness Bastards. He highlighted the band's experimentation and reliance on instinct, with guitarist Rich Robinson bringing a unique spontaneity to the project.
Rich Robinson himself chimed in, calling the album transformative. He emphasized a return to their roots, reigniting the spark in the studio and embracing a raw, edgy sound while staying true to their musical core.
