Partly because they had to fit the exercise around working full-time jobs, but also because of the freedom that was afforded to them around this specific project, which takes the post-punk four piece’s historically adrenaline-fuelled sound into fresh territory. Though the band’s punk spirit remains intact, sonically, they’re more refined and cohesive than ever; it’s the most mature Crows have ever sounded, without compromising any of their intrinsic grit.

More specifically, a former Catholic church and convent where the band parked themselves up in the crypt, which was more conducive to inspiring the foundations for ‘\u003cem\u003eReason Enough\u003c\/em\u003e’. “Having a more relaxed approach this time around meant we could explore different stuff,” Goddard says. “We don’t want to sound the same as we did before – this is our third album, we have to move on. And so we fucked around a bit more.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArmed with dozens of ideas, they returned to London in a bid to finesse them all alongside Mercury Prize-nominated producer and master of the polished indie record \u003cstrong\u003eAndy Savours\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003eBlack County, New Road, My Bloody Valentine\u003c\/strong\u003e). The result: a concise, 10-track album which goes a long way to show Crows’ sonic versatility. It’s more melodic work than what \u003cstrong\u003eCrows \u003c\/strong\u003ehave previously done, “rather than being all-out punk”, as Goddard puts it. “It feels less lo-fi, cleaner and more well-rounded as a result,” Cox adds. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLyrically, \u003cstrong\u003eCox \u003c\/strong\u003edrew heavily from a difficult year, both personally and in terms of facing up to a heavy-going news cycle. “I went pretty unhappy with the lyrics and vocals,” he says. “I wanted to moan a bit. If the last album was angrier, this one is definitely sadder.” Indeed, a general sense of malaise, isolation, unease and a desire for growth in spite of it all permeate ‘\u003cem\u003eReason Enough\u003c\/em\u003e’ – an album which strikes a satisfying balance between existentialism, soul-searching, and a discerning brand of indie-rock: “We’re doing the same thing, but a lot better.
