You can put me in prison

It won’t change a thing

Addiction’s my prison

The bell that I ring

Hailing from the enigmatic depths of Tellico Plains, Tennessee, Heart of the Nearest Star emerges as a captivating electroacoustic duo, skillfully fusing the brooding charm of gothic folk with the pioneering spirit of experimental electronica. Their powerful, otherworldly compositions oscillate between the stark and the psychedelic, weaving a sonic tapestry imbued with poetic imprisonment, prophetic ecstasy, emotional fragmentation, and impassioned pleas. Heart of the Nearest Star’s elaborate soundscapes invite listeners into a mesmerizing vortex of introspection and revelation.

In the twilight realm, the enigmatic crow holds a prominent position as a symbol of intelligence, camaraderie, transformation, destiny, and adaptability. These creatures, shrouded in cunning and wit, encapsulate the essence of mystery that pervades our existence. The avian sage urges us to delve into the depths of our intellect and mental acuity, guiding us to discover inventive solutions to life’s intricate puzzles and to break free from the complex snares we unwittingly create.

In Heart of the Nearest Star’s new single “Crow,” the duo casts a spellbinding electroacoustic and vocal incantation, centered around the karmic cycle of pain and addiction.

As we navigate the obscure pathways of emotional and spiritual evolution, the crow serves as a herald of metamorphosis. This is not a mere superficial alteration, but a profound transformation resonating within the recesses of our souls. Guided by the wisdom of these birds, our spectral lanterns, we glean precious insights into the murky circumstances surrounding us, arming ourselves with the ability to adapt and flourish in a constantly shifting world.

The accompanying visual piece unveils itself as a monochromatic phantasmagoria of surreal daydreams and hypnotic stagecraft. Its subversive, cutting-edge, and avant-garde aesthetics, combined with the stark black-and-white color scheme, contrast the chaotic and dreamlike imagery, crafting a trance-inducing state. The hallucinatory sequences and the band’s entrancing performance merge to create an alluring and enigmatic atmosphere, exploring the realms of mysticism and the otherworldly, as though tapping into the collective unconscious.

Watch “Crow” below:

“Crow” serves as a tantalizing precursor to HNS’s upcoming electroacoustic album, Songs from the Silence, which promises to delve even further into the duo’s enchanting sonic realm. The single’s B-side, “One Way Street” (1990), witnesses the duo reimagining Mark Lanegan’s somber caution through a funereal lens, morphing it into a hypnotic choral experience. Swirling Wurlitzer, Mellotron, and electroacoustic trap beats lay a rich foundation for a mesmerizing interplay of harmonic textures.
