Pre-Order: Inexorable Opposites - Blue (Blue) [Clear Vinyl] [Limited Edition]

With their fourth album "Inexorable Opposites", JACK HARLON & THE DEAD CROWS deliver a doozy of a record. The Psychedelic Western Rockers from Down Under have taken a big leap that was made possible by breaking new ground. It pays off that the Australians have dared to take numerous creative risks, of which several stand out: First off, "Inexorable Opposites" introduces new drum powerhouse Brayden Becher, who has literally given the band an extra kick. This was amplified by employing Lewis Noke-Edwards as a third party engineer for the tracking of the drums. While the creative process was generally more collaborative than for previous releases, the album also comes with an extended range as it includes both the 'heaviest' and 'gentlest' songs the band have ever recorded. Probably as important as the musical tweaks is the new direction that the lyrics take on "Inexorable Opposites". While there are still new tales playing out in the universe of the eponymous science fiction Western character Jack Harlon, vocalist Tim Coutts-Smith was mostly inspired by experiences both personal and from recent years as well as being influenced by his work in mental health. JACK HARLON & THE DEAD CROWS deliver a beautifully matured and musically experienced version of their characteristic sound on the fourth album "Inexorable Opposites". With adult lyrics that take their listeners seriously in a contemplation about the duality of life and the frequent contradictions of the self with the external world, the Australians show their growth and songwriters and musicians without losing the connection to the titanic fuzz and heavy riffs that helped put them on the map.
