Human Pyramids is a cinematic, orchestral supergroup from Glasgow, Scotland. Led by Composer/Producer Paul Russell, the new album features musicians from Axes, Suicide Bid, Scottish Ballet and Modern Studies. Their 4th album Thank You was recorded all over the UK and Europe. Luscious strings, rousing horns, shimmering guitars and bubbling synths. The album expands upon their trademark euphoric sound from the first 3 records which have soundtracked countless TV shows, documentaries and films. The album was mastered by Alan Douches (Sufjan Stevens / Animal Collective) in New York State. Human Pyramids have shared main stages with Tame Impala, And So I Watch You from Afar and Kamasi Washington at End of the Road, 2000 Trees and Glastonbury Festivals. Previous albums have received glowing reviews/features in The Guardian, The Skinny, Prog Magazine and the 405. Steve Lamacq said the release was “A Late Contender for Album of the Year” and also received radio play by Gideon Coe, Stuart Maconie and Don Letts. "A Celebration of Sound like being Caught in a Downpour of Skittles" - Steve Lamacq (BBC Radio 6Music)
A superb follow-up to 'Power Pose' this build upon their already solid sound that blends sumptuous orchestration with synths and guitars to produce a kind of Post-Rock/Neo-classical/proggy joint that's full of surprises. Definitely one to lean in to as it really gets it's hooky melodies in your head. It's quite rightly already getting lots of praise so if you want something that is pretty much out on it's own musically, away from the current crop then this is a future classic. Recommended
