The New Eves have release new single/video, “Cow Song,” the track follows singles, “Highway Man,” “The New Eve,” and “Rivers Run Red.” The UK band includes Violet Farrer (guitar, violin, vocals), Nina Winder-Lind (cello, guitar, vocals), Kate Mager (bass, vocals) and Ella Oona Russell (drums, flute, vocals), recently announced their debut album, The New Eve Is Rising, will drop on August 1st via Transgressive (Arlo Parks, Neon Indian).

“Cow Song” explores themes of liberation, landscape, and ancestral rituals. The track was inspired by the Swedish pastoral tradition of kulning, a powerful female-led vocal technique used to communicate with each other and call cattle across the mountains, and sees the band lean into their own vocal power with haunting, elemental force. The band comments, “It’s a very beautiful thing and it’s loud! This inspired us to use our voices in a new and bigger way.”

“Cow Song” is about “big mountainous landscapes and the longing to enter them, to simply walk off, to wander,” the band says. “It is also a herding song. The rhythm felt like you were walking with animals, or more precisely, with cows.” Listen closely and you may even be able to very faintly hear Bonnie mooing. The song’s accompanying video was filmed in Sweden this spring and was directed by the band and Hugo Winder-Lind.

Written in Brighton and at an artistic residency at The Cornish Bank, and recorded at Rockfield Studios and Bristol’s Cotham Parish Church, The New Eve Is Rising references highwayman’s caves and 12th Century lovers Heloise and Abelard; krautrock and Swedish cow calls and even lyrics whispered into a bat detector. The band call what they make Hagstone Rock. “There’s a lot of mythology around a hagstone, and it’s different in different places, but generally if you look through the hole of hagstone you can see the truth,” says Ella. “We see ourselves as a rock band, but there’s a lot of depth in there and putting hagstone in front of it feels better … It also has the word ‘hag’ in it, which we really identify with.”

“We’re seeing how far we can go as four people by creating our own mythology,” comments Ella. “It’s the idea that you can do what you want—you don’t have to do things a certain way,” Nina says, summing up the revolutionary spirit of The New Eves and their debut. “When we made this band, we didn’t know what to expect. No one gave us permission. You have to do that for yourself.”
