A Golden Field of Radioactive Crows

The 77’s are, and have been, one of the most important bands in Christian music since they hit the scene in 1984. Sixteen years later they are just as vital and progressive as ever. Their latest, A Golden Field Of Radioactive Crows, offers 12 brand new songs. Described by front man and founder Michael Roe as a cross between the soulful pop of his second solo release, The Boat Ashore, and the scorching rock the Sevens became known for. The band manages to strike a balance between the raucous and the sensitive that recalls some of their earlier albums, (77s, Ping Pong Over The Abyss and All Fall Down). Perhaps the most pop-oriented 77's project to date, A Golden Field of Radioactive Crows will no doubt be The favorite listen throughout Spring and Summer 2001. And weaving underneath all of that sun and fun madness are the usual 77's lyrics, brimming with the kind of spiritual angst, conflict, challenge and resolve that have made these golden boys the heroes of Christian modern rock for over 16 years.
