Pallett by Get The Blessing
Been a while, eh?! In fact, blessings seem to have been few and far between over the last few years, but we are delighted to be back in your inboxes and in your ears, to announce the release this autumn of our seventh studio album “Pallett”!
"Pallett" (the title is, of course, the usual obtuse pun) grew from improvisations between Jake, Pete, and Jim during the lockdowns, which were then sent in a big jiffy bag to Clive, who added his drums at home in Oxfordshire. Our very good friend Adrian Utley hammered in a few final nails, and then the great Tim Allen mixed the results. We hope you enjoy its organic eco-paint mixture of hypnotic long-form minimalism, playful rhythms, and unusual textures. If in some ways it’s a more mature album, you’ll be glad to hear that we definitely still “play like children”, as one of our favourite reviews once put it.
And we’d like to invite you too to access your inner child…Since an imaginary colour chart inspired the track titles, we thought you might enjoy colouring in your own copy of the paint-by-numbers album artwork, so limited edition vinyls will be supplied with wax crayons. There’ll also be a very special edition limited edition of vinyls coloured in by the band. Jim has a fine art degree so the colouring will be especially good. The album will also be available as a CD and digital release.
To celebrate the release of "Pallett," we’re off on a UK launch tour in October, with dates in Salisbury, Bath, Bristol, Gosforth, Liverpool and London already confirmed. Full details on our website. Hope to see you at one of these. We are extremely excited.
Thank you for your continued support. We are blessed.
See you very soon
Jake, Jim, Pete, & Clive
