Pork Pie’s "Golden Leaf Sheets," released on September 6, 2024, is an energetic blend of garage rock, blues, and psychedelia, amplified by the band's use of brass and Hammond organ. The Irish quartet showcases their musical evolution, building on the raw energy of their debut album Pterodactyl. This latest release pushes their boundaries with a fuller, more layered sound that feels nostalgic and fresh.
The album kicks off with "City Lights," a high-energy opener driven by gritty guitar riffs and Shane Brett’s punchy drumming. Michael Stafford's distinctive, husky vocals soar over the track, channeling the intensity of a bustling urban landscape. The addition of brass elements and a funky bassline by Michael Laverty further enhances the infectious energy.
Tracks like "Careful As You Go" stand out with their groove-filled rhythms and irresistible choruses. The song's hypnotic organ layers, combined with Peter Laverty’s psychedelic guitar work, invite listeners to lose themselves in the music.
As the album progresses, the mood deepens. "Golden Leaf Sheets," the title track, offers a dreamier, immersive experience with its brooding guitars and Stafford’s haunting vocals. It all culminates in "Cabin Fever," a seven-minute epic filled with relentless drums and mesmerizing guitar solos, leaving listeners spellbound.
Pork Pie’s Golden Leaf Sheets is a thrilling journey through the band's eclectic influences. The album's blend of aggressive rock and psychedelic funk is both refreshing and timeless, proving the band’s versatility and growing mastery.
