Just under a month on from releasing BIRTHDAY, Crawlers have unveiled their next new single.
This one goes by the name DIRTY PARTS OF HEAVEN, and both are taken from the trio’s forthcoming LIVE WITH THIS EP, which is due out on November 13 via Nettwerk.
They collectively explain that the song’s about “the wild feeling of escapism you get from being high, like when you’re in that drugged-up, romantic, everything-feels-perfect moment. But it’s also asking the big question: Can we ever really experience that feeling without the drugs?
“It’s the idea that maybe we’ve already experienced nirvana and, in a messed-up way, the real world just feels like a letdown in comparison. The political climate, the state of everything around us, makes it hard to imagine ever finding that pure connection or peace again. How can we feel that good when the world feels so broken?
“It’s the want to be clean, the want to feel real, but battling that desire to go back to the high. The song reflects that struggle of trying to reconcile the highs of the past with the reality of living in the present, especially when it feels like the world’s falling apart.”
Stream DIRTY PARTS OF HEAVEN below, and catch Crawlers live at Village Underground on November 20.
