The Family Crest- The War: Act I (CD)
2018 release. The Family Crest have already earned widespread national applause for their extraordinary orchestral pop ambition but with The War, the San Francisco-based collective makes their boldest, most fully articulated musical statement thus far. The second installment of what promises to be an epic musical saga, The War: Act I represents "the next version of The Family Crest," says frontman-founder Liam McCormick and indeed, the album reveals a band more in tune with it's own large-scale Baroque eclecticism. Preceded in early 2017 by the Prelude To War EP, the new album marks the first act of a greater multi-tiered project, a kind of serial concept album with a pronounced thematic arc that weaves ideas of pride and memory, dissonance and divergence, into a purposefully ambiguous but undeniably unified whole.
Tracklist:
- To Love You
- It Keeps Us Dancing (Album Version)
- Take Tonight
- Rest
- Never Gonna Stop
- Daggers
- Waiting Still
- I Was Born
- Like A Light
- The Years
- The Mighty Echo
- The Rock's Resting On Your Back
