ANOTHER THREE MINUTES OF YOUR LIFE YOU WON'T GET BACK [3:00] 🎧 open.spotify.com/track/41sahz... 1 drum track a tiny dash here and there of piano, strings, box harp and gamelan and TEN guitar tracks That might sound like too much guitar, but never more than eight playing at the same time. 😉

DAY 1 FEEDBACK: "IV" micro-EP It is tradition in this part of the crowverse to frame feedback received after the first day, and hang it on the wall. 🖼️ Thanks to all who have listened so far, and especially those who said nice things. ☺️ Don't stop ... !!! 😎 album.link/s/494x4cLIVw...

OUT NOW: micro-EP "IV" [4:00] Two non-identical psychedelic post-rock shoegaze twins. Most platforms: album.link/s/494x4cLIVw... YouTube: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #thesanctityofcrows #newmusic #musicrelease #indiemusic #psychedelic #postrock #shoegaze

Since "Flowers Of The New Dawn" (31 Oct 2024) the only NEW music released has been the guitar-free experiment EP "Terra Incognita" (06 Jun 2025). The self-imposed axe drought is finally over 😃 ... MUCHO layered guitars!!! 😮 ▶️ If pre-saving is your thing: ditto.fm/iv-the-sanct...

🧹🎬 I've tidied up the YT channel slightly to: a) make things even simpler and clearer b) add a "Collaborations" section (who knew I'd ever be doing collaborarations!!) Enjoy! ️😎 www.youtube.com/@TheSanctity...

♪ Micro-EP "IV" IV minutes total duration. II tracks with the same key & tempo, similar instrumentation & style (psychedelic post-rock shoegaze?): Less than II days to wait! 😃 ... well, that's if Ditto Music gets its a$$ into gear (it's still sitting in "Review" 🤬).

🎧🎬 Not every piece of music needs a video. 👍 But, I'm a completist. I've started, so I'll finish. 😬 Four recently completed, and scheduled for release over the coming weeks. I only have the last four tracks of the "Terra Incognita" EP left to do. 😎 www.youtube.com/@TheSanctity...

The ransom jar is filling up, but we still need your support before we can pay the ransom. FREE THE CROW!!! 🎧 Stream, save, share and playlist "Journey's End (feat. Sonia Hutchinson of Crowsilver)" to help FREE THE CROW: open.spotify.com/track/740TZc... 🙏

An micro-EP entitled "IV": 4 minutes total duration 2 tracks with titles full of deep allegorical meaning (or, more likely, not): - "Another Three Minutes Of Your Life You Won't Get Back" [3:00] - "Just A Minute" [1:00] It's III days away.

Most artists will release an album, a single or a substantial EP. The Sanctity of Crows says "pah!" to conformity, and releases two short tracks totalling 4 minutes as a micro-EP. Foolish or innovative? Regardless, this micro-EP is coming soon to an audio playback device near you.

💥 Amazing! My latest music video has been up for 5 days, and just drifted past 500 views. 😲 To all who viewed, thank you 🙏 and feel free to visit again, any time. To those who did not, here's your chance to remedy that. 😎 youtu.be/5qzS3L0WTms?...

It's FRIDAY. Even on BANDCAMP. I guess that's why they call it "Bandcamp Friday"? 🤔 Oh, wait ... apparently, today is one of those few days in a year when Bandcamp waives it's platform fees so that more of the money from the day's sales goes direct to the artist. 😮 thesanctityofcrows.bandcamp.com

If psychedelic post-rock shoegaze is not already a thing, then we may soon see the birth of a whole new genre. 😎

Oi ... you listening to this? 🫠 Hear here: song.link/s/7erjc1WYLU...

I slack off promotionfor a couple of days, and the whole world goes to sh1t. 💩 Well, OK, maybe not the WHOLE world, but the number of daily listeners fell off a cliff. 🫣 So, get your friends, neighbours and colleagues to help you listen to some old crow music: open.spotify.com/artist/2fsa5...

Most of the next album has yet to be conjured into existence, but I've decided to release what little I have so far as a mini-EP. Super-risky! But I don't want to wait (possibly many) months before letting this new stuff loose. #thesanctityofcrows #newmusic

A BARGAIN, A SNIP, A STEAL: Second Sun (radio edit) A radio edit of a track from the 2024 album "Amidst The Gloom". 56% less for the same money. What's not to love? 🎧 song.link/s/7erjc1WYLU... #thesanctityofcrows #musicrelease

A few weeks ago, I thought this old track deserved to be dusted off and given a proper airing. The 2024 album version [9:52] had been too long to promote. A radio edit [4:20] was born so that more people could get to hear it. Second Sun (radio edit): song.link/s/7erjc1WYLU...

Currently, only inspiration. The planets may align again in the second week of September, if the tech gods accept my offerings.

🎬🎧 OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO: Second Sun (radio edit) I know what you NEED. 😎 An edited (Ants version) video to match the edited music. 😀 Both 56% OFF! - a bargain you'd be foolish to miss out on. 😜 See and hear here: youtu.be/MHZ99NlrVTQ #thesanctityofcrows #musicvideo

💥 SECOND SUN (RADIO EDIT) ... sounds just as good at night. "Second Sun" is an instrumental guitar-centric depiction of M.A.D. 😎 Any time, any place, any where man. Weather resistant. Keep away from children (you, not the music)! Hear here: song.link/s/7erjc1WYLU...

💥 OUT NOW: SECOND SUN (RADIO EDIT) "Second Sun" is an instrumental depiction of a nuclear bomb attack that is followed by a biological weapon response that wipes out all intelligent life on the alien planet. #thesanctityofcrows #musicrelease song.link/s/7erjc1WYLU...

😯 Finally, "SECOND SUN (RADIO EDIT)" seems to be on most platforms now (64 hours after the scheduled Thursday release ... thanks Ditto Music! 😡). 🤨 Meh, I've kinda lost interest in it, now. But hey, if you can be bothered: song.link/s/7erjc1WYLU... Is it even worth promoting? 🤔

#thesanctityofcrows #musicvideos

🥺 You can't trust Histheory to take ANYTHING seriously! Recently did a hostage exchange, swapping him for our captive crow. His behaviour is annoying the crownappers. 🎧 Stream "Journey's End (feat. Sonia Hutchinson of Crowsilver)" to help pay the ransom: open.spotify.com/track/740TZc...
