The Pierces

The Pierces have announced details of a full UK headline tour in September in support of their new album ‘Creation’, released on September 1st.

‘Creation’ is the follow-up to sisters Allison and Catherine Pierce’s 2011 breakthrough album, ‘You & I’. The Alabama-born siblings now reside in California and the relocation can be heard on their radiant new record.

‘Creation’ marks a stunning sonic evolution for the duo. From the opening title track, the thirteen songs retain the breezy, melodious charm of their previous work whilst injecting a world-wise, sun-drenched sparkle. Tracks such as ‘Kings’ and ‘The Devil Is A Lonely Night’ match taut grooves to soaring harmonies and there’s a life-affirming glow to the lolloping stomps of ‘Creation’, ‘Believe In Me’ and ‘Honest Man’. Elsewhere, folk-pop ballads such as ‘The One I Want’ and ‘Flesh And Bone’ blend Laurel Canyon sing-alongs with melancholic reflections. The Pierces sound at the peak of their powers.
