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.

A few words from Ital on this incredible mix showcasing the best of Lovers Rock:

This mix is exclusively made up of artists on Lovers Rock, in various permutations & aliases. The DJ Python (aka DJ Wey) track will come out on Prohibito; many of these tracks also aren't made for release. A few of them of course have already been released: DJ Wey "Tare Gent Us," Earthen Sea "Beat 13" and Ital & Halal "The Thirst." The "Radio Interference" is a recording of some very unsettling, drifting noise that sometimes comes through the radio unprompted at LR HQ. As for the rest of them, we'll have to wait and see.
