The Pyramids / Archie Bronson Outfit

The name for this Blog was taken from a track from the recent self titled Pyramids album. It’s an album and track in particular that contain a lot of things I like in my music – it’s a sound that drips with gloom and menace but is also crackles with a fire and passion. Something deliciously dark to wrap your ears round.

The Pyramids are Mark Cleveland and Sam Windett, two thirds of the Archie Bronson Outfit who took some time off from their usual band to record something not a million miles away from but focusing on the more jagged and psychedelic end of their spectrum. The songs for the album were written over a weekend and then recorded over a week in a friend’s barn giving it something of a bottled lightning feel.

Their music as the Archie Bronson Outfit is also well worth checking out. Their debut album produced by Hotel of the Kills was a great listen and showed a lot of promise that was fully delivered on with the arrival of their next, Derdang Derdang, which cranked up the intensity but also suffused proceedings with an insistent groove. Propulsive, lean, hypnotic and punctuated throughout by Windett’s frenzied yelp it’s a highly recommended listen.

This is driving me crazy. The Pyramids are great, but I can't seem to purchase it. What record label are they on? I keep coming across another band named Pyramids (Hydra Head) with a self-titled album. Please help and thanks for posting this.

If you can´t download a record in less of 15 minutes, is a hard-to-find record.
