Like those two predecessors, the new record is intensely personal. Its eight tracks are all between four and seven minutes long - concise by PRR standards - and they grapple with darkness of various kinds. While the band's distinctive style remains, melding prog and pop through dreamy moods, epic riffs and angelic harmonies, Courtney and Greg Jong also tried to go somewhere a bit different, drawing on influences like Talk Talk, Elliot Smith, The Smile and even Arctic Monkeys in addition to perennial favourites - especially Pink Floyd. Indeed, legendary session musician Guy Pratt, who has worked with Pink Floyd among myriad iconic acts, provided bass guitar on seven of the eight tracks, with Jon Sykes from The Pineapple Thief playing bass on one song. Bruce Soord, also of The Pineapple Thief, mixed the album in stereo and for the first time for PRR in Dolby Atmos and 5.1 Surround Sound. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Inside Out Music","offers":[{"title":"CD.","offer_id":50531807560011,"sku":"2205693","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue LP","offer_id":50531809132875,"sku":"2205694","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50531806445899,"sku":"2205692","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/PureReasonRevolution_ComingUpToConsciousness_2692fec2_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728112463"},{"product_id":"terrifying-angels","title":"Terrifying Angels","description":"\u003cp\u003e“My initial thought of an angel was the cute kind of cherub, but traditionally angels aren't comforting figures,” says Jon Courtney. “They’re often overwhelming, terrifying beings.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat idea inspires Pure Reason Revolution’s new album, \u003cem\u003eTerrifying Angels.\u003c\/em\u003e Following the reflective Coming Up to Consciousness, the band returns with a darker, heavier sound, combining crushing riffs, ominous atmospheres and grunge influences with their signature vocal harmonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The last record was more chill, so it felt natural to do something grittier and more aggressive,” Courtney explains.
