Head Back to Too Bright Planet from Strange Pilgrim

Leave a comment

While I must confront my own sort of neurotic enjoyment this morning, I’ve moved from dark wave into this blissful excursion into the coolness of guitar pop from Strange Pilgrim. We’e already covered various tracks from the group’s Too Bright Planet LP, so since we were out covering Levitation, I wanted to circle back as a reminder to enjoy the whole LP. Below we’ve got the title track of the record, casually dropping in its charms by way of these tasty little overlapping vocals that are perfect morsels of joy for pop fans. The whole of the record seems to encompass this search continuous search for the brightness, and in that, I’m hoping we can all stumble upon that light by spending time with the LP; it’s out now courtesy of Royal Oakie.

Strange Pilgrim Release Through the Branches

It seems that guitar pop has fallen behind some of the modern trends of late, with bedroom pop and shoegaze-ish sounds dominating coverage. But, there was a time when acts like Woods and Real Estate dominated playlists, and for their part, Strange Pilgrim are carrying that torch, especially with this incredible new single. It opens with this ray of sunshine, hitting jangling notes before shedding this incredible warmth upon the listener. A steady soothing vocal runs its course, feeling like a crisp Summer breeze, offering just the slightest cool to your day. You’ll find some really special moments awaiting in the tune’s latter half as the melodies and arrangements blow the whole thing open. Really loving this tune, and looking forward to Too Bright Planet, out September 26th via Royal Oakie.

Strange Pilgrim Share Late Light

Taking a moment from writing about all the weirdo records coming out today to encourage you to keep your eyes out on the future Strange Pilgrim record, as they announce Too Bright Planet today. When jamming this new single (and their recent Embers EP), they’ve taken sort of a folk-influenced americana, and moved into the territory of fog (or rain since they’re from Portland) pop, which ends up putting it into that kind of cosmic dreaminess. This one even includes some appropriate noodling, where musicianship gets put on display before wrapping you up in a warm blanket. Keep your eyes out for the new LP; it drops in September via Royal Oakie.
