Prog Rock Duo Crown Lands Share Rush-Inspired Sci-Fi Track “Context: Fearless Pt.I”
Following an explosive 2020, including JUNO nominations for Rock Album of The Year and Breakthrough Group, progressive rock duo Crown Lands have upped the ante with their phenomenal new release “Context: Fearless Pt. I”.
Inspired by Rush and the triumphant days of progressive rock’s origins, the seven-minute epic is a captivating rollercoaster of sky-reaching vocals, guitar solos, and monstrous drum fills. Crown Lands worked with Terry Brown and Nick Raskulinecz, both of whom had produced records with Rush over their career.
Lead singer Cody Bowles shares, “To have grown up with nothing but the purest adoration for this band, to have finally scaled the impossible summit together and sit at the table with our heroes is a humbling surreality unlike anything else. Working with these legendary producers-now-friends is something we hold near and dear to us. If life is a wheel, please let it spin.”
For the music video, the duo infused their appreciation for the Mandalorian with their own imaginative spirit and enlisted the support of director Blake Mawson.
“When Crown Lands approached me about working on a second video together, I was blown away by the scope of the vision they had in mind for their upcoming release,” said Mawson. “In the video, Crown Lands saw themselves as space travellers on a diplomatic mission to spread music to new worlds. A sort of retro-galactic space fable. Among their stop-overs on this voyage is a fallen civilization on a planet where music and hope had been lost for generations.”
