Wren Release New Single – Scorched Hinds
Wren are set to release their third LP ‘Black Rain Falls’ on the 21st of February 2025 via Church Road Records. The new single, ‘Scorched Hinds’, is out now.
The band explained the themes behind the new single by stating:
Scorched hinds is about the human race’s false sense of assumed dominion over the natural world and how we must strive to realign our shared consciousness with our environment and all beings that inhabit it.
For over a decade Wren have meticulously crafted a sound and aesthetic inspired by the complex nature of the lived human condition; being as cathartic as it is bleak. They aspire to connect with each person encountering their music, be it through recorded or live listening. In whatever way it is experienced the music is a visceral offering to its audience to take from it what they will.
The theme inherent throughout ‘Black Rain Falls’ is the shared grief of the band members. The members of the band experienced a tragic loss that has redefined there reasons for living and playing music.
On the subject of the new record they said that:
The new record is a crystallisation of the conceptual voice-giving to natural collapse, humanity’s decline and the shadowed spectre that has imbued Wren since the beginning.
Since their inception Wren have maintained a strict independent ethos, collaborating on album releases with various UK labels (Gizeh Records, Astral Noize). WREN have played hundreds of shows across the UK and Europe with bands including Kowloon Walled City (USA), Inter Arma (USA), Unsane (USA), Fórn (USA), Moloch (UK), Birds In Row (FR) and more, and played at festivals such as Damnation, Arctangent, Desertfest, Incubate (NL) and Raw Power to name a few.
