“The gang vocals were also unbelievably fun to record together, very unhinged. I told guitarist Sam (Samuel Nicholson – guitarist in Frankie Morrow) I wanted the track to sound ‘like a party’ and he perfectly captured this spirit with the guitar lick at the end.” “The idea persisted, and on my return from the trip, I brought the tune to life via a home demo, before bringing the track to the rest of the crew to record at Platoon studios, King’s Cross. “Unable to sleep at London Heathrow airport, I first captured the guitar riff in the middle of the night singing the melody into my iPhone,” Morrow tells Atwood Magazine. This isn’t about delivering a polished performance on well-manicured relationships this is intentionally raw, fervent, and exposed: You’re the one that I crave! The one that I adore You’re that one that I need Go on and take the floor You’re the one that I crave! The one that I adore You’re that one that I needįor the band, “Crave!” is a special release in more ways than one. “ … You’re that one that I – need!” They insist. The group erupt as Morrow and crew sing, “ You’re the one that I – crave,” leaving just enough space to accentuate the final word, a move that ensures it rings out over the rest.
#MUSIC FOR DEEP SLEEP GUITAR FULL#
We feel this depth resonating in a new way on “Crave!” as the band explode in a visceral, cathartic chorus full of uninhibited, unfiltered emotion. Yet whether they’re jamming out with the overdrive turned up, or dwelling in the hush of acoustic folk warmth, at the heart of Frankie Morrow’s music is a singer and songwriter quickly coming into her own and leaning into life’s heavy moments.” “They excel at crafting moments of soft, gentle reverie and hard-hitting passion alike, and they’ve imbued their first release with a healthy dose of both. “Frankie Morrow’s music is a tapestry of smoldering, soul-stirring wonder,” Atwood Magazine wrote in our 2022 artist feature. But we know better than to pigeonhole a band to one style, sound, or demeanor at this point in time.

Never wanting it to end – the joy, the ecstasy, the intensity!” Frankie Morrow © James LahaiseĬomprised of Morrow/McMillan, Samuel Nicholson (guitar), Niamh Downes (keys, bv’s), James Smith (bass, bv’s), and Duncan Carswell (drums), Frankie Morrow emerged at the tail end of 2022 with a glistening and groovy folk rock record – one that starts to feel a far cry from “Crave!” the more we listen.

“‘Crave!’ is about fancying the pants of someone,” Frankie Morrow’s eponymous frontwoman (née Maria McMillan) tells Atwood Magazine. Independently released June 20, 2023, “Crave!” is an inimitable showstopper: Frankie Morrow’s stunning first single of the year sees the Scottish quintet delivering the hardest-hitting music of their (admittedly nascent) career, following 2022 November’s five-track Blue Parrot Backpackers Hostel with a dramatic, dynamic upheaval characterized by deep bass guitar notes, callous, cool drumming, and searing vocals that ring out full of strength and conviction.

Crave! – Frankie Morrow © Tabitha Wykeham Darling, darling just hold me Feel the weight of my body Tell me that you’re mine Let time, time move slowly Irrevocably, toward the sun We’re on the right line Feel it all around you As the bonds that bind Shatter and suppress no more The fear that guides We will lead it out unto the night Just as desire can be so intoxicating that it turns slightly sinister – taking us over completely – there’s a mild darkness creeping in through the edges of this song as if the drive at its core is so overwhelming and mighty that for a second, it blocks out the sun – leaving us to bask in the glow of pure, unadulterated passion. A sonically and emotionally charged fever dream, “ Crave!” roars with longing, desire, and electric grooves as the Scottish band come to life with smoldering sound and seductive charm. It’s the heat of a raw and unquenchable fire burning within: The heat of passion, of vulnerability, of intimacy’s exhilarating intensity. What if I surrendered to your tender hands? Deliver me… There’s an undeniable, unrelenting heat emanating off Frankie Morrow’s new song. Frankie Morrow’s heated “Crave!” roars with longing, desire, and electric grooves as the Scottish band capture intimacy’s intensity with smoldering sound and seductive charm.
