Ring the bells: the brothers are back!
Juxtaposing beauty with brutality, lullabies with noise, has always been the trademark of These New Puritans. And it’s no different with “Crooked Wing”, their long-awaited fifth album, set for release in May 2025 — already shaping up to be one of the most original and surprising records of the year.
Six years after Inside the Rose, the Barnett brothers’ unmistakable visionary and experimental approach returns, the result of a long creative process that took the band across London, Essex, and Austria, collaborating with artists like Caroline Polachek and jazz double bassist Chris Laurence.
With chiming bells, mystical organs, and sharp, driving percussion, the album promises a unique sonic experience — one that we’ll be able to fully savor live, in all its magnetic power.
