Juno Award-winning, powerhouse rock duo Crown Lands – Cody Bowles (vocals and drums) and Kevin Comeau (guitar, bass, and keys)—release their sophomore studio album Fearless through Spinefarm Records/Universal Music Canada. The album opens with the 18-minute composition “Starlifter: Fearless Pt. II,” which throws down the gauntlet and introduces the whole Fearless experience. “This is truly our crowning achievement.The best song we have written so far. An 18-minute opus. A testament to the power of prog. A document of just how much noise two people can create,” exclaims Comeau.
The nine-track album follows Crown Lands’ self-titled debut from 2020. It was recorded in 80A Studio at Universal studio in Toronto with producer David Bottrill (Rush, Muse, Tool, Mastodon) and came together over a six-month period, in short, intense bursts between tours.
Where the debut record showcased Crown Lands’ aptitude for raw blues rock, Fearless embraces more of the band’s earliest passions in prog-rock. The album is an unapologetically rich, ambitious work yet easily accessible, plus fans will notice some previously released tracks “Context: Fearless Pt. I” and “Right Way Back” that act as familiar touchpoints framing in the new soundscape.
“I mean, let’s be honest here, there’s a little bit of cleverness for cleverness’ sake in there too,” Comeau chuckles. “But it is really fun. We had so much fun tracking this music. I think we were both able to do what we wanted to do as artists for so long.”
