Phew, having survived the long weekend, but arriving home just a tad late, there is just time to share a new track before hitting the hay. And it’s the latest single from Texas-based duo Crow and Gazelle – Belly of the Beast is the latest offering from their forthcoming album Truth Be Told, which will be out this June.
At its core, Belly of the Beast wrestles with the entangled forces of patriarchal religion, capitalism, and colonization, reframing them not as divine or natural orders, but as that which they rally – constructs built to dominate and divide. “It’s a deeply spiritual war we’re under,” the band explains. “With violence, exploitation, and environmental destruction becoming normalized, we’re being asked to forget who we are and where we come from. This song is about remembering and about believing that love, not domination, is the force that will ultimately undo what’s been built.”
