| | Description: | Tapir!â??s debut album, â??The Pilgrim, Their God and the King of My
Decrepit Mountainâ??, is a multiform record that owes as much to folk art
and folklore as it does to alt-folk experimentation.
The South London six-piece â?? Ike Gray (vocals/guitar), Will McCrossan
(keys/drum machine), Tom Rogers-Coltman (guitar/saxophone), Ronnie
Longfellow (bass), Emily Hubbard (cornet/synth) and Wilf Cartwright
(drums/cello) â?? describe Tapir! as a â??boiling togetherâ?? of different
mediums: at once musical, theatrical, mythological, artistic,
collaborative, narrative-led and, above all, something to be enjoyed and
shared.
â??The Pilgrim, Their God and the King of My Decrepit Mountainâ?? follows a
three-act structure â?? released by Heavenly Recordings as three four�track EPs â?? 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 Grayâ??s crisp, heartfelt vocals and the bandâ??s instinctive,
idiosyncratic melodies, the project at times feels like the musical
equivalent of the paintings of Henry Darger, Henri Rousseau or Philip
Guston.
Gray and McCrossan formed Tapir! in 2019 and after playing just one
show at their beloved George Tavern, East London, the UK soon went
into lockdown, forcing them to continue the project online, developing
songs that combined off-kilter acoustic guitar and Randy Newman-esque
storytelling with the reliable propulsion of their Elektron drum machine.
When Honeyglaze drummer Yuri Shibuichi saw Tapir! live at the venue,
he encouraged them to record their songs, and the band stress it was his
enthusiasm (soon coupled with the increased attention after they won a
place on the Green Man Rising stage in 2022) that led them to take the
project more seriously. Without Yuri, â??The Pilgrim, Their God and the
King of My Decrepit Mountainâ?? might never have come to fruition.
Shibuichiâ??s playful, carefree production (always urging the band not to
overthink) perfectly suits Tapir!â??s unassuming, handmade, DIY nature. - CD standard edition in jewel case.
