Chris Murphy (Seven Crows)
SPB: Coming from the band’s perspective, how does it feel in 2020 to release a new record (as compared to releasing a record under different circumstances with live shows etc)?
Murphy: 2020 has been a challenge from all perspectives but I’m trying to make the best of it.
My music background is in jazz and improvisation so I think that’s taught me how to adapt and pivot fairly gracefully. One of the positive sides of quarantine is that it’s allowed me to create new music including SECRETS OF NAVIGATION and many people have been listening to and needing new
Music, so I think there is a demand – Especially, I think, for music that is calming and reassuring and has a positive message, which is what SEVEN CROWS is about.
My orientation with music is live performance so it has been frustrating but getting past this pandemic is more important. I’m looking forward to gigs returning , until then, let’s support each other and wear our masks!
