Crash Richard, former multi-instrumentalist for Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and frontman of The Deadly Syndrome, has returned with new single, “In The Hollow,” from his full-length album, Sensitive Devil, arriving today.

“In The Hollow” was born during a drive through North Philadelphia, which inspired a “meditation on survival” and what Crash describes as “the sound of a neighborhood trying its best, but barely holding.” Other songs on the new record, which is Crash’s fourth solo album, also trace “emotional and generational landscapes across cities, memories, and musical influences.”

Recorded alongside Kosta Galanopoulos in a home studio in Eagle Rock, Sensitive Devil is “imperfect by intention.” It reflects Crash’s “ongoing mission: to stay sensitive in a world that keeps hardening.”
