Back in late 2016, Rich Robinson of the The Black Crowes announced a brand-new project called The Magpie Salute. To join him for the new band, Robinson recruited former Black Crowes members including guitarist/vocalist Marc Ford and bassist Sven Pipien in addition to Rich Robinson Band member Joe Magistro and lead vocalist, John Hogg.
Today, The Magpie Salute has announced their debut studio album, High Water I, due out Friday, August 10th via Eagle Rock Entertainment (U.S.), Mascot Label Group (Europe/Australia/New Zealand) and Sony (Japan), in addition to confirming an additional swath of summer tour dates. The band has shared the lyric music video for the album’s first single from the album, “Send Me An Omen,” which you can enjoy below:
“‘Send Me An Omen,’ to me, wraps up all of the elements of this band,” explains Robinson in a press release. “There’s pure rock ‘n roll juxtaposed with these pop melodies sung with a melancholy that creates this beautiful balance of surreal dark and light.” The track will be available on all major streaming and download sites beginning this Friday, June 8th.
Produced by Rich Robinson and recorded at Dark Horse Studios in Nashville, TN, the 12-song High Water I album represents a musical union of swaggering rock ‘n’ roll, psychedelic blues, and campfire-worthy storytelling. See below for the official tracklisting.
