Forgotten Pharaohs- King Of Mirrors (PREORDER)
SKU: 5051565880076
From the beach fires of San Francisco, via the vistas of the Sierra Nevada to the Welsh mountain hideaways of ancient princes, the Forgotten Pharaohs debut King of Mirrors is a worldly wonder, crafted by a classic rock journeyman. Born in Frome in Somerset but raised on the sounds of the American west coast, frontman Christian Pattemore is the archetypal man out of place and time; a Laurel Canyon dreamer from 1973 materialised amidst the ancient landscapes of rural Wales."This album sounds like a record from 1974 that got forgotten about," says Christian; a dusty supergroup collaboration between CSNY, The Band and Steely Dan perhaps, remixed for the modern day by Queens of the Stone Age. Certainly the crackling power and rich imagery of King of Mirrors - along with it's expert Laurel Canyon style layering of blues, folk, rock and dark psychedelia - have a timeless, pan-Atlantic quality. Failure for King of Mirrors, though, doesn't seem an option. This is the record that galvanised Alan McGee and Youth to launch a brand-new label Creation Youth, with Forgotten Pharaohs as the first full-length release.
