British post-punk 4-piece CROSS WIRES impressed
Turn Up The Volume‘s ears with their sharp-cutting
debut full-length A Life Extinct back in 2019.

Review fragment: “Not only do they deliver a series of red-hot cutting rippers but, lyrically, they unveil their loud and clear views on our society. They tackle all sorts of social injustices that still undermine and influence our daily life. Their anger-driven songs awake every nerve in your body and their energetic and in-your-face dynamism makes your blood stream faster. We need honest bands like this in these worrying times This biting team matters, this vital debut LP matters, this kind of outspoken engagement matters.

The band just announced details of their sophomore album, named
YESTERDAY IN MOURNING. It will be out on 5 May (Vinyl/digitally).

Pre-order info here.

About: “Yesterday In Mourning’ is an album about the love you once felt.
The milk turned sour. It’s an album about regret. About loss. An album about
the grief we carry with us and the ghosts that haunt us.”

(So far) CW shared 4 tracks.

– CAMEL BLUES-
Grand, electric
guitar/synth gem.

“I’m damaged.
Drag you down with me.
A breakdown.
Dark energy.
A shifting to another place.
Love fading.
Hides it’s face.”


.
– EXHIBIT A –
An agitated fear of abandonment rush.


.
– DROWNING –
A barbed post-breakup stroke.


.
– MOURNING –
Fuzzy psych cut fueled with
wah-wah guitar resonance.

“The last cup you drank from I never washed up.
Is that pathetic? There’s a book on the coffee table
that you never finished.”

English Indies CROSS WIRES Share Post-Break-Up Single ‘MOURNING’ From Their Upcoming 2nd Album

Daily electricity to load your batteries

23 November 2022

Band: CROSS WIRES
Who: fervid post-punk 4-piece
from Romford, UK.

Single: MOURNING
The first piece of the band’s
upcoming second longplayer.

TUTV: Great news for all Cross Wires fans, including myself, out there.
Their 2nd album is finished/recorded and ready to leave its vault early
next year through Culture Wars Records. It follows the band’s album
A Life Extinct. One of the most poignant debut records of 2019.

But first the lead single. Mourning is not a happy story. It’s a post-break-up cry out,
a cathartic shout out. Sixties psychedelic-sounding wah-wah guitar fuzz, alternated
with cutting six-string fervor stoke up the energy of this crackerjack all the way, along
with a steadfast drum/bass tandem, and back up frontman Jonathan Chapman‘s
harrowing confession of lovesickness. Familiar emotions for many of us, nevertheless
always heartbreaking.

“It seems like forever since you moved out of this place and
left me alone the flat we shared for 2 months, 3 weeks and
six days. I still love you, I hate to admit it to myself. I’ve only
just been able to say that out loud.

The last cup you drank from I never washed up. Is that pathetic?
There’s a book on the coffee table that you never finished.

It was almost 6 weeks before I could even venture outside.
I forgot to eat and the days they seemed to run in to each other.
You see I’ve been having trouble sleeping. I spent yesterday in mourning.

The last cup you drank from I never washed up. Is that pathetic?
There’s a book on the coffee table that you never finished.”
