Old Crows / Young Cardinals, Alexisonfire's fourth studio album, came out on Dine Alone on June 23, 2009, after going by the shorter Young Cardinals until the band announced the full title that April. Coming off Crisis, which had topped the Canadian albums chart, the St. Catharines, Ontario five-piece went heavier and more experimental, and the tug-of-war at the band's core has never sounded sharper: George Pettit's ragged roar against Dallas Green's clean, melodic singing, with Wade MacNeil's guitar and backing vocals, Chris Steele's bass and Jordan Hastings' drums shoving the whole thing forward.
It was their last full-length for more than a decade. The band broke up in 2011, reformed in 2015, and didn't deliver another album until Otherness in 2022.
