Obscure Sound

A wintry, dreamy atmospheric spell takes hold right away, as Crow’s magnetic vocals paint a “sky is getting darker, the nights are turning colder” entrancement amidst jangling guitar pulses and steady percussion. “A shimmering light of heaven is drawing near,” her vocals illuminate as the track invigorates into a soaring captivation. “What makes you laugh? What makes you sad? What makes you search for me?” Crow sings with more starry-eyed enthusiasm, moving from the initially nocturnal chills into a more embracing “always here” warmness.

“In Spirit” pulsates with a retro-modern energy, marking another memorable track from British singer-songwriter Lana Crow. Rooted in a literal dream, this anthemic mover evolves from a chill keyboard loop into a vibrant dance track. The release continues Crow’s fantastic run of standout songwriting, catching our ears in recent months with excellent tracks like “What Brings You Back” and “Orwellian Times.”

Crow’s vocal command proves especially gripping as her pointed observations cut through with both melodic memorability and sharp, timely bite. It’s another standout from the artist, who caught our ears in January with the track “What Brings You Back.”
