Former King Crimson violinist David Cross’ band will launch 6th album Sign Of The Crow in August
The David Cross Band will release sixth album Sign Of The Crow in August, they’ve confirmed.
Former King Crimson violinist Cross last year described the work as “fantastic” but “horribly complicated,” adding: “It’s all down to Paul Clark on guitar, who comes up with very twisted ideas.”
Now he says: “As with the previous studio album, Closer Than Skin, King Crimson lyricist Richard Palmer James has created high-impact lyrics, both dark and beautiful. The titles evoke big events and big feelings – Starfall, Sign Of The Crow, The Pool, Spiderboy – this is a great album.”
Cross and King Crimson leader Robert Fripp last collaborated on 2015 album Starless Starlight, based on reinterpretations of Crimson’s 1974 track Starless.
