These New Puritans release new album "Crooked Wing."

These New Puritans, the acclaimed avant-pop band, are back with a new album called "Crooked Wing." The Barnett twins, Jack and George, discussed the album while meeting in their hometown, Southend. Their music reflects the sounds around them, including noisy industrial areas and lively seaside streets. The album starts with a young choir singer from Southend and takes listeners on a journey that includes sounds from a Greek church. Collaborations in "Crooked Wing" feature pop artist Caroline Polachek, adding to the album's unique sound. The brothers have spent years honing their craft while embracing diverse influences for their music. Jack and George have distinctive roles; Jack is the principal songwriter and vocalist, while George handles drumming and visual direction. They have been making music together since childhood, often using unconventional methods. Their previous works, including the acclaimed "Hidden," have drawn a dedicated following, including stars like Elton John and Björk. "Crooked Wing" offers a blend of familiar and innovative sounds similar to their earlier albums. The band aims to create music that speaks to both past and future experiences. Although financial challenges persist in the music industry, the brothers have persisted in their artistic vision. The new album will be released on May 23, with some tracks already available. "Industrial Love Song" and "Bells" showcase their dedication to creativity and musical exploration.
