The Last

Description

Balancing substance and style… A vast quest that Scarecrow comes closer than ever to with their latest album, The Last. An intimate concept album, largely inspired by the individual journeys of the band members, three years after their last studio session for the production of Devil & Crossroads. The lyrics and the care given to the construction of this vast descent into hell, slow and insidious, make it Scarecrow’s most accomplished work to date, both musically and in the themes it addresses. Easy dolls, lost loves or the death of feelings, but also devastating passions, Scarecrow delivers dark or luminous stories, carried by the music that defines them. In pain as in joy. In sorrow as in violence. But don’t think that Scarecrow has lost any of its political bite or rage as it has grown older. Far from it! Foolish class leaders, star artists, sad fellows and low-grade columnists also make up the cast of characters on a record that ventures into a sharp critique of our society. A unique record-listening experience, at the end of which only the frustrated will cry foul and call it bad taste.
