Needle Drop: Adam Cleaver, “Narrow Spines”

Adam Cleaver is no stranger to us, but we must say we’ve not heard him quite like this before.

His latest single, “Narrow Spines” retains the powerful vocals per previous singles “Man or Beast” and “The Salt Mine,” however this latest cut also feels darker and edgier. He’s moved away from the indie folk niche he’s honed previously toward a heavier, post-rock sound which is a welcomed change. Fans of Dry the River and Frightened Rabbit will feel at home here.

The video for “Narrow Spines” is a masterpiece as well. Fantastically directed by James Byrne, this captivating and haunting short film adds another level to the track altogether. Talking about the single, Adam says “’Narrow Spines’ is about weakness. When someone is so trapped in their own grief they aren’t able to comprehend the people around them.”

“Narrow Spines” is in stores now via Veta Records.
