Three Quarter Skies (Slowdive’s Simon Scott) shares new single featuring Flying Saucer Attack’s Dave Pearce

Slowdive drummer Simon Scott released his debut solo EP as Three Quarter Skies last year, and now he’s back with this single featuring Dave Pearce of ’90s-era shoegaze/post-rock group Flying Saucer Attack. “Crows” is gauzy and atmospheric, with a solar system’s worth of headroom as a clacking beat shoots through an ocean of dreamy guitars.

It’s also pretty heavy. “It’s inspired by witnessing my parents die, basically,” Scott says. “It’s the most personal song I’ve ever written.” Simon sings “I’ve seen a murder roosting / A murder of crows / In her eyes.” You can watch the video by Chris Tomsett / Innerstrings below.

Simon will be busy this summer touring with Slowdive, including a stop at San Francisco’s Outside Lands festival, on August 11. All dates are listed below.
