New Music from Pete and the Pirates

It’s been two years since Pete and the Pirates released Little Death, so personally, I’ve been waiting for them to hook us up with something new. As a Christmas special, the band have leaked a track from their forthcoming album, which is untitled, yet slated for a May 2011 release.  The rhythm in the single, “Winter 1,” definitely has a solid driving beat to it, giving the track a hell of a kick.  Vocals sound a touch like the Mystery Jets, which doesn’t bother me by any means.  It seems they’ve definitely been honing their chops in the absence, and I can’t wait to hear more of the soaring melodies from the group as we get closer to the release date.

  • On the first listen, I wasn’t sure if I liked it. But since I adore this band, I had to give it another chance and it’s been on frequent rotation ever since. There are some excellent demos on Bandcamp called “Precious Tones” you should check out.

  • Yea, on first listen, I agree, its definitely a different spin on their style. Honestly, what sucked me in is how much his vocals sound like Mystery Jets, which is one of my favorite favorite bands. Let’s hope the rest of the record is great.
