Human Pyramids are an exuberant and eclectic orchestral post-punk ensemble led by Scottish born, London-based multi-instrumentalist Paul Russell, whose numerous handpicked accompanying musicians are scattered throughout the UK. With a soundscape perhaps as vast and culturally rich as the experiences, influences and spaces between the geographical locations of its UK collective, Human Pyramids are excitedly set to release their self-produced 12-track debut album 'Planet Shhh!' on April the 28th via Three Mile Town Records (UK) / Ricco Label (Japan).
Album opener, 'Tall Tales' was the first track to be revealed from the record and is available for free download via Human Pyramids Soundcloud page. This is the kind of track that holds so much energy and positivity you find yourself transported into a magical land of unicorns and rainbows, leprechauns and wizards, skipping through an enchanted forest with nothing in your heart but joy and happiness. The song features big swelling brass, beeping and booping electronics, gentle cinematic strings, the chiming of a gong and orchestral arrangements so big and bold they become more than just sound. They become symbols of hope, and freedom, unifying and strengthening.
Follow up single and lead track, 'Relapse' has more of a post punk/ post punk drive than its predecessor. Featuring the voices of a 25-strong choir, swirling bass guitars, enchanting female harmonies, weaving electronics and rhythms with special attention to sweet percussion, fixed drum beats, plucky strings, and dynamic bass guitar lines. 'Relapse' is a wonderfully weird and magnetic track that shows Human Pyramids experimental pull is truly one of a kind. 'Relapse' also comes in the form of a beautifully made video, directed and edited by John Lynch and creatively made up of over 5,000 hi-res still photographs posed individually to synch up with various parts of the song.
