Lion [CD]

Electric Pyramid's music cannot be explained; it must be listened to. It's an alchemy that emerges as if by magic. The quintet, led by Ol Beach on vocals, has a familiar classic rock formula. If there were a club guarded by Pearl Jam, U2, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Nirvana, or Weezer, there's no doubt they would immediately induct Electric Pyramid. Formed in 2016, they released their debut album in 2021. Playing frantically whenever they could to make up for lost time during the pandemic, they enlisted producer John Cornfield (Muse, Robert Plant, and Oasis) to work with them. The title track of their sophomore album, "Lions" is an ode to resilience that evokes a force of nature, Ol's little girl. "Diorama" celebrates the wonder that slumbers within us, while "Land Of Ghosts" tells not a ghost story, but rather one of eternal lives.
