The Pilgrim, Their God and The King Of My Decrepit Mountain

supported by

Hospital Theatre Thy very songs not in thy songs,
No special strains to sing, none for itself,
But from the whole resulting, rising at last and floating,
A round full-orb'd eidólon. Favorite track: Eidolon.

Bert Hughes It's just such a gorgeous album Favorite track: Mountain Song.

OCP these guys, they're NUTS I tell you... Favorite track: Untitled.

Xtra Happy Tapir!'s brand of folk feels like a warm shower on a cold day; peaceful, comforting, inviting and embracing. I regularly had Acts I & II on repeat listen through the latter half of 2023 as the solemn uncaring winter nights rolled in; hearing the full album now complete with Act III only elevates the sense of calmness and carefree euphoria I get from these wonderful songs.

I can highly recommend 'The Nether (Face To Face)', 'Eidolon' and 'My God' if life's giving you quite a rough time right now Favorite track: The Nether.

about

South-London-based 6-piece Tapir! have announced details of the release of their album, 'The Pilgrim, Their God and the King of My Decrepit Mountain', which is out on Friday 26th January 2024 on Heavenly Recordings.

The Pilgrim, Their God and the King of My Decrepit Mountain follows a three-act structure – released by Heavenly Recordings as three four-track EPs – telling the story of a solitary traveller, an ambiguous red creature known as The Pilgrim, on a journey across a mythical landscape of eerie forests, stormy seas and unholy mountains populated by beasts, injured birds and idealised eidolons. A fantastical offbeat fable carried along by Gray’s crisp, heartfelt vocals and the band’s instinctive, idiosyncratic melodies, the project at times feels like the musical equivalent of the paintings of Henry Darger, Henri Rousseau or Philip Guston.
