Synopsis

Album Description

2008 debut full-length album from Reading-based Indie popsters. Bright, young commanders of a brand of unique Englishness, Pete and The Pirates blend of smooth edged Punk and Pop produces music which is sweet, raw, joyous, melancholic, raucous and tender. The Pirates idiosyncratic and endearing song writing puts them somewhere between the Flying Nun band Tall Dwarfs and the wistful reflection of On The Beach-era Neil Young. Features 13 tracks including the singles 'Mr. Understanding', 'She Doesn't Belong To Me' and 'Knots'. Stolen Records.

CD Reviews

Understanding

M. Buisman | Amsterdam, NL | 05/06/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I first came across Pete & The Pirates with the release of the single 'Knots' which also found its way in this album. A fresh, crisp single that sounded to me like Supergrass' 'Caught By The Fuzz'. More in excitement of hearing a great new English band than anything else.

The albums sounds not very produced, even a little flat at times. But this doesn't harm the album at all. Compare it to Dinosaur's 'You're Living All Over Me'.

Musical references would be Franz Ferdinand with some Belle & Sebastian and Bloc Party thrown into the mix. Musically bare, sung in double voices but in great songs.

Best song of the album: Mr Understand, a song you can't get rid off."
