These New Puritans - Crooked Wing (2025)


These New Puritans' fifth album, Crooked Wing, is a haunting exploration of the intersection between the sacred and the industrial.

Tracks such as "Bells" and "A Season in Hell" showcase the band's ability to balance beauty with a haunting edge, while collaborations with artists like Caroline Polachek add depth to the album's narrative . While the first half of the album is lauded for its aural mastery, the final third is noted for becoming more introspective and opaque . Overall, Crooked Wing stands as a compelling chapter in These New Puritans' continually evolving journey.
