05 October 2009 The Cribs - We Share The Same Skies

2009 has proven to be a somewhat pivotal year for The Cribs. The band whetted the appetite early on with a couple of low key shows in Manchester  previewing a handful of new songs, the Spring saw the band decamp to the States to record  what was to become  ‘Ignore The Ignorant’ and the onset of Autumn  finally witnessed  the scaling of the  album charts when  ‘Ignore…’  emerged high and proud  at Number 8.

 

‘We Share The Same  Skies’   in dispatches has quite rightly  been  accorded the rightful ownership of  being ‘one of the best songs’  The Cribs have in their  ever growing reportoire…The release of ‘Ignore The Ignorant’ has seen extraordinary plaudits  showered upon a band  from all quarters  and  is  the culmination  of a long and winding  route  for a band of brothers  who have long shunned the easy route.

 

Mining what in , recent times has been a rich vein  of  songwriting prowess, ‘We Share The Same Skies’  is anchored by  a refined  collusion of  sweeping  guitar beauty courtesy of Johnny Marr entwined  with Ryan Jarman’s flashes of guitar gusto overseen by twin sibling Gary Jarman’s  evocative vocal.

 

The Cribs have always had a voice , it’s just now people have sat up and started to listen….

 

‘We Share The Same Skies’ is  released on 9th November on Wichita Recordings  and will be available digitally  and on 7” vinyl (WEBB 236s).
