“Chasing Crowns is finally yours,” shares the band. “Its pages and words are torn from our diaries and stories. Blood, sweat, and tears tattooed onto every page. It feels like our little miracle in a way. We couldn’t have made it here without all of you supporting and believing in us. There were times we didn’t think this moment would ever come. Life is turbulent, cruel, and heavy. But it also blooms, sings, and soars. It isn’t without its waves, but with you all as our compass and the wind in our sails, we know we will always find our way home. We hope you enjoy this album as much as we enjoyed making it. It isn’t ours anymore, it is now yours. Our vessel. In the end, beauty isn’t in perfection, it is endurance. This album taught us that.”
Chasing Crowns represents a significant new chapter for The Cab. Written over the past 10 years in various cities around the world, the album captures their evolution (both personally and musically) and time away, while providing snapshots of different moments in the lives of the band’s members. The overarching theme of Chasing Crowns is that all of the things we chase in life (the crown, the jewels, the success) don’t matter in the end; what matters is how you make people feel.
That sense of reflection runs throughout the songs, taking inspiration from the Japanese philosophy of Kintsugi – the art of repairing broken pottery with gold where cracks are not hidden but illuminated as part of the story – as reflected on the album’s cover art. Today, those pieces come together again as The Cab, stronger than before. Chasing Crowns also beautifully showcases The Cab’s ability to seamlessly flow between genres while still crafting a cohesive body of work.
From the guitar-heavy Locked and Loaded and danceable earworm Back From The Dead – an anthem of redemption hailed as “a catchy pop-rock banger” – to the smooth and catchy Sweet Kerosene – already declared as “the perfect masterpiece” – and the slow and sweet penultimate track Hellraiser, written for frontman Alex DeLeon’s daughter, The Cab puts their abilities as songwriters on full display on Chasing Crowns.
