Another Sky have today unveiled their new single “The Cracks”, the second track taken from their upcoming EP “Life Was Coming In Through The Blinds”, due for release on 14thJune via Fiction. The band have also announced their biggest headline show to date at Village Underground on 24thSeptember. “The Cracks” premiered last night on Annie Mac’s Radio 1 show and follows on from the band’s emotionally impacting previous single “Apple Tree”.
Listen to “The Cracks” here: https://anothersky.lnk.to/TheCracks “The Cracks” further reveals the band’s talent and appetite for cultural and social commentary, alongside their soaring cinematic soundscapes. Vocalist Catrin Vincent describes the track as “a response to a Leonard Cohen lyric, “the cracks, that’s how the light gets in”. The song is an ode to our generation, one that is more self-aware and being forced to have the difficult conversations that lead to progress and evolution. It’s inspired by the little girl fined by the council for setting up a lemonade stall, the kids suing the US government for global warming, teenagers like Greta Thunburg. It’s about our generation’s unique position of facing extinction.”
