Cold Crows Dead is a collaboration between Paul Steel and Murray McLeod from The Xcerts.

Paul has received plaudits for his songwriting from Van Dyke Parks, Andy Partridge, Sean O’Hagan of The High Llamas and The Wondermints. The Xcerts have released two albums via Xtra Mile Recordings and have toured with Biffy Clyro and Frank Turner. The album is also notable for a very special guest appearance by Stephen John Kalinich on the song ‘Man In Bleak’.

Imagine Jack Skellington from “A Nightmare Before Christmas” taking over the Beach Boys “Smile” sessions and you’ll be in a good head-space to grasp the concept of the album.
