Taken from her Bound To Me EP that was released in 2023, “Nomad” is powered by a thunderous rhythm section and a lower-octaved keyboard that allows CrowJane’s piercing and ethereal vocals to weave in and out of the rhythmic dirge, capturing the elegiac aura of post-punk artists Xmal Deutschland and March Violets before her. “The song ‘Nomad’ in a nutshell is about war, the ceaseless spilling of blood, and the aftermath,” she explains. “The chorus has a kind of hopeful tune in the mix of grim verses, talking about the rise of a new dawn when the killings are over. I was also thinking about climate change and referring to the planet as a malignant sphere and asking myself, ‘Is the end near?’ If the universe doesn’t kill off humanity, maybe we will just cause our own extinction.”

“We went running around the castle trying to get as much footage as we could while we had the time off to do so,” says CrowJane (real name: Heather Galipo) about her new atmospheric and foreboding video “Nomad.”

Her EP Bound To Me is a five-track deep dive into the mindset of CrowJane, embracing Darkwave, Goth, Tribal, Synth, and Postpunk, providing a stylistic link to her critically-hailed debut album Mater Delarosa. With its subterranean dance music footsteps, the EP boasts other tracks like “Butterflies,” setting the minor chord stage that CrowJane dances on. The Janes Addiction-rave up of “Ides of March” chimes in guitar textures while her layered vocals recall Perry Farrell’s high-registered howls. The atmospheric closer “Broken Angel” has a cathedral-esque expansiveness that recalls early 4AD.
