Narrow Head announce new album ‘Moments Of Clarity’
NARROW HEAD have announced a new album!
Titled Moments Of Clarity, the upcoming album from the Texas-based rock band is the follow-up to 2020’s 12th House Rock and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via Church Road Records in the UK and Europe and Run For Cover Records for the rest of the world.
The record’s title came to vocalist/guitarist Jacob Duarte in an ambient, almost haunting fashion. The months surrounding the release of the band’s prior record were marked by a series of personal losses and spiritual trials. Throughout the writing process of this most recent record, the turn of phrase “moments of clarity” appeared to materialise wherever Duarte looked in an almost serendipitous fashion. The notion of moments clarity seemed to coalesce as if it were a totem to the desire to keep on living, a counterweight to the self-inflected damage and depravity that defined much of 12th House Rock’s lyrics. “The phrase created a space for me to reflect upon my own life,” Duarte admits, “since our last record I’ve had plenty of moments of realization like that… when you experience friends dying, you’re forced to see life a little differently.”
Duarte credits the presence of Sonny DiPerri [NINE INCH NAILS, PROTOMARTYR, MY BLOODY VALENTINE], who recorded, mixed, and produced the record, with elevating the band’s sound. Prior to recording, the band spent a week with DiPerri at a house in Sherman, TX, reworking and refining the record. The band then relocated with DiPerri to Jeff Friedl’s [DEVO, A PERFECT CIRCLE] home-studio in Los Angeles, where they completed the tracking of the record under the reprieve of an uncharacteristically mild Californian late-summer.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, NARROW HEAD have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; the title track Moments Of Clarity.
