Reason Enough

With Reason Enough, Crows have delivered one of the best albums to come out in 2024.

Reason Enough is Crows’ most cohesive and fully realized work to date. It builds on the visceral intensity of their previous albums while venturing into more spacious and melodic territory, adding layers to their sonic identity.

At just under 35 minutes and only 10 tracks long, it’s a coherent piece of work that should see them finally pop their heads into the mainstream. It’s a record where it sounds like Crows, three albums in, have now finally taken the handbrake off.

Crows' third album is a cruising testament to what happens when ideas gestate.

On their third album, Reason Enough, they produce yet another accomplished effort, which steers them in a slightly different direction, with refreshed potency and a refined character that sees them take things up a notch.

Despite its mass of catchy hooks and songwriting variety, chunks of the album are off-kilter in their gauging of heaviness and melody, compared to the dark and ephemeral quality that encouraged returning to prior records. Perhaps it’s a fork in the road in search of a fresh direction, the destination still to be found.
