NARROW HEAD RELEASE NEW VIDEO "HARD TO SWALLOW" 12TH HOUSE ROCK OUT NOW ON RUN FOR COVER

WATCH & SHARE "HARD TO SWALLOW" (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) HERE NARROW HEAD reveal their brand new video "Hard To Swallow" from their hugely acclaimed sophomore album 12th House Rock, which is out now via Run For Cover Records. Jacob Duarte from the band explains a bit more about the new video: “We shot the video in the middle of nowhere Texas at this insane house that was rundown but still livable, courtesy of the Allison Brothers. Kinda like a house from a horror movie, Texas Chainsaw or House of 1000’s Corpses. The house was surrounded with trees and a couple of acres of land with no cell phone service so you’re totally isolated. Gives you this creepy feeling like someone could be watching. The first time I visited the spot I knew I wanted to do a video there, it came out exactly how I imagined it.“

Album Artwork By Barry Elkanick  “...a reminder that rock music can be catchy without really scanning as pop, and that it can be scuzzy while remaining not just accessible but deeply magnetic.” STEREOGUM "careful guitar melodies, sensitive vocal deliveries, and earnest earworms" PITCHFORK Hanging out in parking lots, smoking cigarettes at the lookout point, making out on the roof—these are the moments that Narrow Head brings back, at a time when it's hard not to miss everything." NOISEY "The lyrical passages in a Narrow Head song arrive at the front end of a tempest, quickly establishing a little bit of narrative or mood before they’re consumed by gusts of guitar." HOUSTON CHRONICLE (Read the Feature) "a potent set of heavy, ‘90s-steeped rock with grungy, effects-laden guitars, muscular rhythms, angst-fueled lyrics and head-banging song hooks" KEXP “90s fans, Narrow Head ​are here so you no longer need to pretend that any of the Helmet, Quicksand or Smashing Pumpkins reunion material is actually good.” DECIBEL (Read the Feature) “Acclaimed for their shimmery pop melodies and feedback-soaked shoegazery, the quintet evoke the bittersweet alt-rock of Smashing Pumpkins, Nothing and their ilk.” REVOLVER “...their combination of nu-metal and ’90s grunge makes for pleasurable sonic immersion” PASTE “Narrow Head is one of the decade’s earliest to experiment with the infusion of shoegaze with punk and post-hardcore.” DALLAS OBSERVER (Read the Feature) “Duarte’s drawl evokes Liam Gallagher’s nonchalant delivery, making the track an exciting trip in nostalgia” UPROXX “a catchy dose of '90s shoegaze and grunge worship” BROOKLYN VEGAN “As the album title suggests, truly is a world of its own – and its emotional weight and power will transport you, whether you like it or not, into the darkest parts of Jacobs mind, as well as your own.” KERRANG! “heady, fuzz-covered space rock” NORTHERN TRANSMISSIONS “For an album whose influences are so explicit, 12th House Rock still manages to feel vibrant, breathing life into an established sound.” METAL HAMMER (UK) “The shoegaze label that stuck to the band at the beginning has largely been lost” VISIONS (DE)

Rising from the Texas underground/DIY scene, Narrow Head quickly amassed a devoted following for their standout live performances and open-hearted, emotionally naked songwriting. Their sophomore effort 12th House Rock is the distillation of the greatest moments in 90’s alternative and hard rock with a fresh set of ears, thirteen tracks of Narrow Head’s signature brand of bludgeoning lullabies bursting at the seams with creative ideas, new directions and huge, monolithic riffs. Delving into deep-seated themes of self loathing, desolation, self-medication, the loss of loved ones and hopeful redemption,12th House Rock is, as the title suggests, a rock-focused LP themed on transition– exploring the vast abyss of darkness just before the sun cracks upon the horizon.

Narrow Head formed in 2013 but became fully realized as a band in Houston with the release of their 2016 debut LP Satisfaction and the lineup of Jacob Duarte, guitarist William Menjivar and drummer Carson Wilcox. Playing in the TX scene instilled a can-do attitude, an ability to explore several different ideas along with a strong set of DIY ethics, qualities that still form the basis of the band to this day. Though the primary trio was present throughout the entire cycle, fate would intervene on bass as the undeniable chemistry between the band and then strictly producer Ryan Chavez led to his inclusion in Narrow Head. The newly minted four piece would handle the bulk of the remainder of the LP, bringing in Erica Miller (Big Bite, Casual Hex), vocalist/lyricist on “Delano Door,” and mastering guru Sarah Register (Big Thief, U.S. Girls, Protomartyr) to put the final touches on the record. Guitarist Kora Puckett (Bugg, ex-Sheer Mag), who previously logged hours as a live member in the tours preceding the LP, would join Narrow Head as a full-fledged member following the album’s completion.
