Celestial Devastation by COWER

Human Worth are proud to present the killer second album ‘Celestial Devastation’ from UK supergroup COWER, featuring members of The Ghost of a Thousand, Petbrick, USA Nails, Yards, The Eurosuite and JAAW. Available to pre-order from 1st December with a portion of proceeds donated to charity.

Featuring the musical might of Tom Lacey (Yards, The Ghost of a Thousand), Wayne Adams (Petbrick, JAAW, Big Lad) and Gareth Thomas (USA Nails, The Eurosuite) COWER is a collaborative project of 3 friends celebrating a lifetime of music exploration together. Each bringing their own distinct flavour to this new record, which pushes the boundaries even more than their acclaimed debut ‘BOYS’, exploring further into the realms on gothic darkness, but still with a real kick, highlighting the trio’s noise roots.

Recorded, mixed and mastered at Bear Bites Horse Studio by Wayne Adams, ‘Celestial Devastation’ explores the idea of technology becoming the guiding light in our lives, for better or worse. In the words of the band’s lyricist Tom Lacey “We give up a lot of decision making to the algorithm more and more, so these songs are an attempt to make sense of that. I think that kind of power speaks to certain type of men, they seem to want to try and harness it, make others see it’s value, so this record speaks a lot to tech bros and the weird cult of silicon valley.”

Human Worth have pressed up a limited run of ‘Celestial Eco Mix’ vinyl, housed in a gorgeous package designed by Thomas Lacey using MidSommar AI – linking perfectly with the album’s themes. Featuring a super high gloss cover, with additional photographic inserts illustrated by Daniel Holloway. 10% of all proceeds will be donated to Hackney Foodbank, supporting people in crisis or trapped in poverty with compassion and dignity.

“We’ve all recorded, toured and discussed music for years, but this is the first project where all those experiences and eclectic taste have come together in something close to a band. Apparently, we were all goths at heart, who knew.” – Tom Lacey

“Although the first record was more of a post punk affair, we really wanted to expand on the gothier side of our musical personalities that had just started to poke through on the first album. So this 2nd record is a far more synth heavy affair. Tom had also come in the studio armed with some killer demos for this one! The Cower musical world has been fully expanded into a Psychedelic Gothic, synthetic, post punk land of noise!” – Wayne Adams

“This collection of tunes feel far more diverse than on the first album, maybe our influences are worn a bit more on our sleeves with it too so I probably don’t need to mention who it is we were trying to rip off.” – Gareth Thomas
