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

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.
