This new single, <em>Apples For My Love<\/em> demonstrates the slow, reflective nature of the new EP, one that arrives in this &#8220;<em>grueling time of human reckoning.&#8221;<\/em> This particular track zeroes in on the quieter moments of love than could be found with others in the storm that was 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional distanced players of the\u00a0\u2018EP4\u2019 project include members of\u00a0Chandra, Sauna, Blonde Elvis, For Jane, and\u00a0Beliefs. The new tracks were mixed by long-time musical partner\u00a0Josh Korody (Beliefs, Breeze)\u00a0at Toronto&#8217;s Candle Studio and mastered by\u00a0Heather Kirby\u00a0at Dreamlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new body of work emerged when the\u00a0Beliefs co-front, Crowe, struggled to find an outlet to release their inner conversations into a public forum. Into a place where their creative outlet has evolved and spanned over a course of 4 EPs and a debut album,\u00a0\u2018In This Year: Ten of Swords\u2019. Dark and theatrical, Crowe&#8217;s influences move through the hum of Rachel Goswell&#8217;s shoegazing, the drive of Patti Smith&#8217;s poetic delivery, blending the art-gloom of Beth Gibbons&#8217; sultry jazz with Annie Lennox&#8217; avant-gardism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mcusercontent.com\/4c25773ce0262fea87830a367\/images\/1c7221b6-2dda-38ce-139b-a658bccc185b.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Praise EP4 cover artwork\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018EP4\u2019 track listing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.\u00a0Apples For My Love<br>2.
