Jason Cruz and Howl released a new single just a few days before publishing new album ‘Wolves.’ “Very moody beginning to the record. Song begins simple and stark and blossoms into a dark deep synth rock hammer. Some of my favorite lyrics are in this song.” said Cruz about ‘Swallow.’
When asked about the album he shared: “This record was born of loss. Before the pandemic, I had lost my best friend and bass player, Chris Stein, to cancer. It took me years to start writing a new Howl record again. This new record is a reflection of me not being afraid anymore. I’ve always tried to be that way when it comes to art and music, but with Wolves I felt freer than I ever had before and just embraced it. This album is a reminder nothing ever really dies; it just turns into something else. Sometimes pain can help fuel you creatively, and in turn, guide you out of the darkness. Wolves is a record of healing, taking chances, and a new beginning.”
