Rising from the UK underground, GARROW HILL return with a new release that builds on everything they’ve been developing over the years: heavy, dark, and firmly on their own terms. The band have just dropped their engulfing new single and video, Eaten by Crows, which will be followed by their five-track stunning EP, IX, out on Friday 31st July.

The York-based duo formed by lifelong friends Stewart King and P.G. Branton have often been labelled too obscure or too DIY, but GARROW HILL have stuck to their own path, shaping a sound that draws from alternative heavy rock, post-punk, and the harsher edges of ’90s metal. There’s a strong sense of place running through it, reflecting York’s mix of a polished surface with something darker underneath.
IX sees that sound pushed further — tighter and more direct, without losing the atmosphere they’ve built over time. Eaten by Crows sets the tone early on. Speaking about the track, Branton says:
“Eaten by Crows is about the slow, inevitable process of being consumed — piece by piece, until almost nothing remains. It’s the feeling of being picked apart by indifferent forces, of watching parts of yourself disappear while you still try to write the final page of your own story. There’s no dramatic scream, no grand final act — just the quiet, relentless erasure… and the stubborn refusal to vanish without leaving a mark.”
