Pharaohs are back with a new mini album ‘Photosynthesis’, set for release through Centurion Records on 6th June 2011. This 8 track release is full of energetic, exciting tunes with good breakdowns just in time to put the spring in your step as the weather changes for the better and kick off the soundtrack to your summer.
Pharaohs are Joe, Inigo, Jonny and Rob. Forming in late December 2008, their music is best described as Math-Pop with Rock sensibilities. They use ultra-melodic vocals with big pop choruses and detonating breaks, but mix them with ‘techy riffs’ and cleverly constructed instrumental structures, producing a sound similar to Foals, Minus the Bear, Bloc Party and The Police.
Keeping themselves busy with several UK tours and shows playing alongside the likes of Glassjaw, Young Guns, The Subways, Canterbury, King Blues, Lights Go Blue and Shapes. Including hitting the London circuit playing venues such as Punk, The Old Blue Last and Macbeth, as well as a festivals like Rapturefest and Hevy Fest. The band are now set to release their latest offering ‘Photosynthesis’.
New release ‘Photosynthesis’ takes you on a journey with its a care-free, upbeat attitude. From the title track, to the empowering and encouraging ‘Lifts’, to a nice chilled, mellow ending with ‘See Sea’ with plenty of good lyrics, guitar riffs and much more in between.
In addition to gearing up for the release of ‘Photosynthesis’ Pharaohs will also be touring Europe in April where they will be supporting Battles in Luxembourg along with headline shows of their own in Germany and France, with additional plans to go out to Japan and China later in the year, as well as preparing to record the follow up to ‘Photosynthesis’ around December 2011.
