I" (7:49) I like the chance for Kevin to to showcase his bass and guitar skills on this one, otherwise, I'm not sure how this song serves to "set up" the context of who Fearless is and what s/he stands for. He stands against the colonization of outer space and the decimation of his people to reclaim what was stolen by capitalistic greed and bloodshed.

Add in other references from Wolfmother to Led Zeppelin, and many more in between, and I’d be betting my paltry wages on the fact that I’d probably have a listen to one song and then give up. Crown Lands came into my consciousness by way of a recommendation, and since the first listen, a love affair has begun.Interestingly, for all its upbeat nature and welcoming embrace, the final track, ‘Citadel’ allows the duo to introduce a slightly more sombre, almost melancholy vibe upon which to close things out. Every drum hit, every chord, every tinkling keyboard note, and every bass string pluck can be heard and enjoyed. Recorded at Universal's studio in Toronto with producer David Bottrill (Rush, Muse, Tool, Mastodon), Crown Lands' new album, Fearless, creates a world you want to spend time in.

WE may be listening to two individuals for whom music is as essential to their being--to their every breath--as the aforementioned talents (both of whom I believe were conduits of the flow of a force from a source far greater than any corporeal human). But there's a storytelling format within the multi-part suite that just really captures our imagination.Through their music, Crown Lands wants to raise awareness of the long-term effects of this colonization and give a voice to their community of indigenous peoples. Indigenous communities rights and Cody learned at the feet of the elders at Alderville a First Nation Reserve. This dynamic duo has really shown us that they don’t need to be “accessible” or “radio friendly”; rather they strive to create enlightening and entertaining music that reaches audience not only through their music, but also their mission.

Recorded at Universal’s studio in Toronto with producer David Bottrill (Rush, Muse, Tool, Mastodon) Fearless came together over a six-month period, in short, intense bursts between tours. And the lyrics, 'If life is a wheel / Please, let it spin,' has that Neil Peart enthusiasm and optimism for life.Rather than clobber its audience with complexity, Fearless creates a world you want to spend time in. Unfamiliar with the debut currently (although I will rectify this ASAP), the composition, in the words of drummer and vocalist Cody Bowles, “spans hundreds of years following our titular hero: Fearless after the events of (2021 single) ‘The Oracle. Producer David Bottrill, whose discography includes Tool, Muse, Rush ends up makinh them sound very much like the latter.
