I have to say Pilgrim Fathers are one hell of a
strange band, they have just signed to Undergroove
Records and are just about to release their debut
album 'Short Circular Walks In The Hope Valley'
upon on the world and the best way to describe the
album is adventurous, random and extremely odd.
The album opens with 'Ballad Of The Trojan Elephant',
it starts off with a wide mixture of soundscapes
and Marilyn Manson style drowned out vocals and
then out of no where the song explodes into a
mad mix of loud sounds and vocals and before you
know it they have gone and the song goes into
yet another direction, the song is so progressive
it sounds like more than 1 song, but this is something
you are going to have to get used to if you are
going to enjoy the Pilgrim Fathers, they are extremely
random and don’t keep to the same sound
through any of their songs.
It’s pointless me writing about the tracks
on the album as they all feature different soundscapes
and go off on their own creative direction that
changes many times throughout each and every track,
I will say the bands music is heavily instrumental
based and the sounds they come up with are very
diverse and aren’t the easiest of sounds
to get into.
'Short Circular Walks In The Hope Valley' is
an album that takes a lot of time, effort and
patience to fully enjoy and get anything out of
it, it’s not like your average album where
you get say 6 good tracks, 2 outstanding tracks
and a couple of fillers, instead you either enjoy
the album or you don’t, words don’t
do the Pilgrim Fathers any justice what so ever,
they are a band that you need to check out for
yourselves as they really are that crazy sounding.
3/5
