Pilgrim Fathers

Sweet Billy Pilgrim
Genre: Electronica / Folk /Experimental
From: London, United Kingdom


British folktronica trio Sweet Billy Pilgrim have just released their second album 'Twice Born Men' a stunning album, an album more hypnotic than a bucket of benzos with none of the side effects.

Tinkering about somewhere between Sufjan Stevens and David Sylvian (the band have remixed Sylvian's 'The Heart Knows Better' for his 'The Good Son vs. the Only Daughter - The Blemish Remixes' project)
Sweet Billy Pilgrim's sound is pure and unpolluted, an oasis of calm in the midst of London's indie smog.

Their debut album was awarded four stars by Mojo and The Sunday Times called it, 'a rather special debut', making the single 'Stars Spill Out of Cups' (see video below)one of their songs of the year and that was just the warm up act for 'Twice Born Men'.
