Critics are raving about Sweet Billy Pilgrim’s latest release is being hailed as an instant classic and the first great pop record of the year.
In an age of instant hit singles, disposable fillers and celebrity gossip it seems that the art of creating an album, a body of work so flawless it touches perfection, has long-since disappeared.
Yet this week Sweet Billy Pilgrim have released their third album ‘Crown And Treaty’ to widespread, universal acclaim.
This quiet band of musical alchemists have crafted a nine-track masterpiece that has been reviewed across the board in such glowing terms it must surely stand as the most lauded album of the past twelve months, if not beyond.
The numerous reviews in magazines great and small, newspapers national and regional, and internet sites of many types, have been resoundingly unanimous in hailing this magical album and recognising its profound musical, intellectual and emotional impact.
For a band yet to do a mainstream interview or appear on television to promote this album, the reception that has been afforded their work is remarkable. And with their new single ‘Archaeology’ coming in June, the word of mouth will keep growing.
The album of 2012? Sweet Billy Pilgrim will be the band to beat.
