Can hardly wait to get hold of their new album, Twice Born Men, which will be released next March. In the interim, I'll go on indulging myself with the streaming samples available on their site.
(Click here to listen to "Truth Only Smiles", available for free download).
SBP in a nutshell:
Tinkering about somewhere between the earthy and the ethereal, Sweet Billy Pilgrim scrape strings and tap away at laptops trying to make beautiful things with steady hands and empty pockets. After the TV flickers out and the credit cards have been declined, and we’re returned to hearts and heads, Tim, Alistair and Anthony would love to be called in as the happy architects of small corners in both. It’s all about the hairs on the back of the neck, they say.
[...]
With the imminent release of their second album, ‘Twice Born Men’ on David Sylvian’s Samadhisound label following recent collaborations with folktronica luminary Adem, Norwegian electronicists Punkt, and successful shows at the Royal Opera House as well as festivals in Spain and Norway, Sweet Billy Pilgrim are building fires to warm their little musical corner while they wait for planning permission to build their ramshackle beach huts on those tiny, storm-bruised plots inside us all. Should it not be granted – hell… they’re prepared to settle for a gazebo. *

--Permission granted to the architects & engineers, as far as the tiny, storm-bruised plots inside of me are concerned.
