U.K. band Creak have announced a new single and video for the track “A Head Full Of Rain” from forthcoming record Depth Perception. The new album is due out August 18 via Prosthetic Records.
Guitarist Reece ‘Moose’ Boakes comments:
“Originally this song was written as the last track in the recording sessions as an end to the album without any intentions of it being a single. However, once we got further into the track, and because of it being at the end of that recording cycle, it felt like a time-stamp of where the band was at after going through the learning process of making a full album and where we’ll be heading next with the project.”
Vocalist Jack Dunn adds:
“Lyrically and tonally throughout the album, I’d talked a lot about my mother’s battle with cancer and some of my own struggles watching her fight it. On the majority of ‘Depth Perception”s songs, we tried to approach it through an art-house horror filter that we’ve referenced a lot in our material to date and through the use of imagery that matched those feelings.
“With this song being written as the end of the album, I wanted it to be blunt and directly get across what I was trying to say with this is album, that I’m terrified of losing my mother. I felt like I had to get those feelings out, and I didn’t want to try and cover it in anything, even though it made this song uncomfortable.”
Depth Perception came to fruition between 2021 and 2022. Connor Sweeney (formerly of Loathe) produced, mixed, and mastered the record.
