Narrow Head announce new album ’12th House Rock’

NARROW HEAD have announced a new album!

Titled 12th House Rock, the upcoming album from the Texas-based rock band is their sophomore effort and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Holy Roar Records.

The upcoming album was was self-produced and born of close to a hundred takes with no click track, vocal correction, drum samples or quantising, resulting in thirteen testaments to pulverising pop, clocking in just above 50 minutes.

Delving into deep-seated themes of self loathing, desolation, self-medication, the loss of loved ones and hopeful redemption, 12th House Rock is, as the title suggests, a rock-focused album themed on transition– exploring the vast abyss of darkness just before the sun cracks upon the horizon. “A lot of the record was made in the late hours and early morning,” recalls vocalist/guitarist Jacob Duarte. ”Those quiet moments alone when utter silence and my self-medication made it impossible to escape from my own thoughts. It was also from a specific time when I didn’t take care of myself and made bad decisions in all aspects of my life. These songs were a way out, temporarily anyway.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song to be lifted from the upcoming record; Night Tryst. The new song was initially premiered exclusively last night in the UK with the Radio 1 Rock Show.

Speaking about the new song, Duarte explains, “I wanted to create a fairly dark world with my words. Kind of like the reality William Burroughs creates in Naked Lunch: a grimy world of drunks and druggies filled with endless nights of unknown substances, pleasures, and regrets. I put my life and experiences into that world and those are the words that came out.”
