Just over a year on from the release of Narrow Head's grunge, shoegaze and alt-metal-glazed Moments of Clarity, the Texas quintet have revealed they're re-upping that 2023 breakout release with a new deluxe edition. To tease its forthcoming release, they're vaulting through a cover of Nineties NYHC crew Crown of Thornz' "Love Sick."
The cover was captured during an in-studio session from 2023, which you can see up above. While Moments of Clarity generally had Narrow Head vocalist-guitarist Jacob Duarte pouring sweetness onto the mic, the Houston hardcore veteran — and Skourge member — goes full-throated like Crown of Thornz' own Lord Ezec (a.k.a. Danny Diablo) on this equally bouncy take on the 1996 original.
The deluxe edition of Moments of Clarity pairs the original 12-song album with Narrow Head's NYHC tribute, the band's 2022 single "T.W.I.N.", and a series of remixes from Lil Aaron, atlgrandma, Pictureplane, TRANS FX, stripmallravestarrr, and cole3k.
A CD/DVD version of the reissue also includes music videos and the band's full Pure. Coherent. Lucidity live studio session. Physical and digital versions arrive May 3 via Run For Cover Records, and can be pre-ordered here.
Narrow Head also have a bunch of tour dates lined up this spring, including high profile spots at Coachella over the next couple of weekends. You can see the full details of the tour route below.
