These New Puritans return with Crooked Wing, their long-awaited 2025 release on Domino Records, and it stands as perhaps their most elegantly realized work to date. Drawing comparisons to Talk Talk, Michael Nyman, and David Sylvian, the album weaves together a richly orchestrated sound built around vocals, percussion, bells, and organ, layered with vibraphone, French horn, upright bass, piano, and more — all produced by Jack Barnett and Graham Sutton with stunning precision.
A genuinely ambitious and self-funded project, Crooked Wing brings together an extraordinary cast of collaborators, including Caroline Polachek, Canadian soprano Patricia Auchterlonie, veteran jazz and classical double bassist Chris Laurence, and members of Southend Boys Choir. The result is a bold, modernist record that forges its own aesthetic with confidence, balancing cyberpunk-tinged intensity with moments of disarming delicacy — and it arrives with an A2 lyric poster, making it a truly immersive package for fans of adventurous, orchestral rock.
