The crashing psychedelia of "Somnia" by Hamilton, Ontario based The Crowleys is both beautifully lush and vastly dark. The heaviness of melodic synths over killer big modulating bass and eclipsing drums with piercing dirty art rock guitar leads is offset by Giulianna Frontini's absolutely unique vocal aesthetic. Frontini possesses a very self aware style that vacillates between empowered and ethereally whimsical. There are moments of grand expansions, of breathtaking divine wonderment pushed with sort of 80's fantasy pop sounds. It is a beautiful audacious trip and when it all ends (much too soon) life feels boring once more.
Somnia is the first single to be released in preparation for The Crowleys' debut full length album. The Crowleys are Cohen Wylie (guitar, vocals, production), Stuart Downie (drums, vocals), Giulianna Frontini (vocals) and brothers Justyn (synth, guitar) and Collin Horlick (bass, bass synth).

The Crowleys are a five-piece psychedelic band from Hamilton, Ontario. After winning fourth runner up at their high school talent show, they knew they had it in them to make it to the big leagues. Armed with their shimmering synths, scintillating guitars, towering drums, eye-shaking bass, and ethereal vocal melodies - they travelled past the far-expanses of the Tone-iverse and into the Tone-Zone. It is here where they live out their days exploring the cosmic landscapes, relentlessly crafting their own brand of infectious psychedelic-pop. The Crowleys’ primary mission: merge mind-bending psychedelic rock with bubblegum melodies that will blow your mind and have you dancing along impulsively. How will our heroes fare? Will they reach their destiny and come out on top? Listen to find out.
