The Pearlfishers - The Strange Underworld Of The Tall Poppies

Review by Frans Verhoek

The Strange Underworld Of The Tall Poppies by Pearlfishers is an album that showcases the band's musical prowess and creativity. The album is a mix of different genres, including pop, rock, and folk, and features a range of instruments, including guitars, pianos, and strings. The lyrics are introspective and thoughtful, exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Even On A Sunday Afternoon," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song features jangly guitars and a driving beat, and the lyrics speak to the joy of spending time with loved ones. Other standout tracks include the wistful "I Can't Let You Go," the melancholic "The Bluebells," and the dreamy "Biggest Star."

One of the strengths of The Strange Underworld Of The Tall Poppies is its production. The album sounds lush and polished, with each instrument and vocal track given its own space in the mix. The arrangements are intricate and layered, with strings and horns adding depth and texture to the songs.
