Pyyramids - the Tim Nordwind from indie rock band OK Go and Drea Smith of the electro-pop outfit He Say/She Say helmed outfit - announce the release of their debut album 'Brightest Darkest Day' on April 15, through indie label Paracadute.
The band will be be previewing material from album at SXSW, together dates across the US East Coast, followed by a U.K. tour. Dates will be announced shortly.
'Brightest Darkest Day' finds its creators once again venturing into fresh territory. “There’s a pop sensibility to the album that’s bright but the sound and delivery is dark,” explains Smith.
Introduced by a mutual friend via email, Nordwind and Smith initially bonded over an affinity for first-wave British post-punk and 80’s Manchester bands. They began creating songs together, working from their respective homes, and finally met when a tour brought Tim to Chicago. Drea came out to Los Angeles in early 2012 for their first proper recording session and moved to the West Coast before the year was over.
Recorded in Nordwind’s basement studio, with the final tracks recorded at Dan Konopka of OK Go’s studio, 'Brightest Darkest Day' was mixed by Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, MGMT) and Konopka.
The track listing is as follows:
1. Brightest, Darkest Day (Intro)
2. Smoke And Mirrors
3. Don’t Go
4. Do You Think You’re Enough?
5. Paper Doll
6. Everyone Says
7. Invisible Scream
8. Time (Interlude)
9. Time
10. That Ain’t Right
11. Nothing I Can Say
