Today I learned that album art as an art form peaked in 1980 and never recovered.

67: Crow44 // Crow44

Crow44 Crow44 2013, Stones Throw

Great press release fodder on this one: Crow44’s Desmond Pierce is (or perhaps was) an elderly bedroom musician in North Yorkshire who self-released at least 25 (oddly Egypt-obsessed) albums starting in the ‘90s before he was discovered by DJ and internet crate digger James Pants, leading to a self-titled compilation EP on the venerable hip-hop label Stones Throw. Pierce apparently played in a Yardbirds-y R&B band in the ‘60s, but I don’t know if there’s really a name for what he does as a solo artist—too much funk in it for dream pop, too eerie to be New Age. Like fellow cult rediscoveree Bobb Trimble, it’s best perhaps to simply say that Pierce’s vision of psychedelia is idiosyncratic. He seems informed by ‘80s synth pop and soft rock, but his affection for cheapo-sounding electronic instruments like the Omnichord, which would’ve come across as hopelessly dated in the ‘90s, means a lot of his stuff would fit nicely on a chillwave playlist (or even as a beat for a Yung Lean-type rapper). The overall feel is woozy, like taking Oxys while watch Inside Out in a movie theatre.

Sometimes that wooziness rankles; the childlike vocals and droning melody of opener “Love You to Death” is both intriguing and kind of irritating to listen to in the way a lot of outsider-tinged music tends to be. When everything clicks though, Pierce proves himself a masterly arranger. “If You’re Feeling Down Part I,” a twinkling Lennon/Nilsson-y ballad of crystalline delicacy, is as beautiful as anything psych’s old masters ever produced (insipid lyrics par for the course). Its finest touch among many may be the ambiguous note struck by its violin’s minor melody—in contrast to the song’s glassy-eyed sweetness, when the violin swells it evokes discovery and melancholy. Like a touch of acidity in a dessert, it enhances the overall flavour immensely.

I’m not aware of any further releases by Crow44 since this career-spanning compilation, which means (at least for now) that it serves as a tidy capstone to a career otherwise (well) spent tinkering away in obscurity.
