Crows announce new album 'Back To Life: Live At Moth Club' out Jan 29th and share lead single ''Pray''
Crows announce their first-ever live album, ‘Back To Life: Live At Moth Club’, due for release January 29th 2027 via Bad Vibrations, and share ‘Pray (Live)’ today alongside a live video Pre-order now on 180g gold ‘Moth Ceiling’ vinyl LP (hand-numbered /200 with the fold-out show poster). Also available on 180g ‘NHS Blue’ vinyl & CD.
‘Back To Life: Live At Moth Club’ captures Crows’ return to the stage after a year-long hiatus – frontman James Cox’ diagnosis with Hodgkin’s lymphoma alongside the passing of guitarist Steve Goddard’s father forcing the band to take their foot off the gas for the first time in over a decade. Emerging from a year of healing and mourning, the comeback show dialled all the power, intensity and adrenaline you’d expect from a Crows show up to 11.
Recorded from the desk and mixed by James Spankie, with mastering by Pete Maher, the resulting album serves as a poignant, cathartic document immortalising that night for the history books. It was a discography-spanning set digging into early fan-favourites from 2015 debut single ‘Pray’ and 2016 ‘Unwelcome Light’ EP, through all three studio albums: 2019’s ‘Silver Tongues’, 2022’s ‘Beware Believers’ and 2024’s ‘Reason Enough’.
Looking back on the show and resulting album, Cox says: “We hit a year where a number of significant events upended our personal lives and forced us to stop after 11 solid years of touring and recording. Illness and loss made us pause, mourn, get healthy, take some deep breaths and focus our energies onto life outside Crows. It's true that you really don't know how much you miss something (especially something you might have grown to take for granted) until it's gone. We missed playing so much, and luckily when we felt strong enough and ready to get back on the horse, there was a beautiful, sweaty room filled with friends, family and fans waiting patiently to welcome us back into the fold. The result is so special, and we are so pleased to have a record of a night we will never forget and can thankfully revisit forever.”
