Ok, it's only been six years, but the band keeps teasing us with eps, singles and splits, oh my.

Yeah this is probably their best thing to date (which I used to count as Crows, but, y'know, given that that song's on here anyway...), it's pretty excellent the whole way through

China was a neat
Always thought this band was american for some weird reason, not sure why it struck that way in my head.

Anyway a solid sludge doom record this and the last track defo is a highlight.

"Crows" really is an amazing track. Their best by far and I already enjoyed their debut a lot. More layered and even better songwriting. I'm glad I can still find rely on some post-metal bands.
