Really digging this, does Chirps have a youtube or other social media?

Dublin-based three-piece Crowhammer released their eight-plus-years-in-the-making debut album Vol 1: Tales from Vertexia on New Year's Day 2023. Mixing kraut, prog, stoner, and space rock together, it's a wild concept album that you'll want to play very loudly as you parse the story.

Here's what Crowhammer say of the concept: In a far off galaxy an evil wizard has unleashed a deadly virus on the planet Vertexia. The only hope in developing a cure lies in travelling to the Wizard's home planet in order to take a sample of blood from the mythical space eagle. The Vertexians developed a new spaceship known as the R4D14NT S1LV3RGUN, which is capable of travelling vast distances of space quickly. The Outlander; the hero of our tale, the only person capable of piloting the R4D14NT S1LV3RGUN blasts off into space on their desperate quest to save the denizens of Vertexia.......

I talked to Bobby Corcoran,  Ivan Deasy, and  Thom Parkes at Guerrilla Sound Studios in mid-January about making the album, why it took so long, looking back on the rock scene of recession-era Ireland, and lots more.

TPOE 249: Crowhammer

Pink Noise:

Tell me how to break the sequence,
Of cultivation for a life lived on the fence,
Where I do break through the ceiling,
Familiar fall reopens sutured confidence,

While you hesitate,
The world around you sinks,
Taking photographs, 
And plaster casts of everything,

Slow bend me through the prism,
Remake me in refracted light,
Show me how to do it,
Show me how to do it right,

Headlights scream into the distance,
Illuminating future scenes,
No definition to the picture,
Wipe my imagination clean,

The walls reverberate,
Corrupting what you think,
And when the ink is dry,
It polarizes everything,

Slow bend me through the prism,
Wake me up, I’m paralyzed,
Show me how to do it,
Show me how to do it right,

Concentrate,
Concentrate,
Concentrate,
Concentrate.
