A Brief History
Somewhere between the earthy and the ethereal, Sweet Billy Pilgrim
scrape strings and tap away at laptops trying to make beautiful things.
The debut single 'Experience' was quickly distributed amongst the
devoted and has now sold out. Their second release, the 'Stars Spill
Out of Cups EP' has done much the same.
They've also turned careful hands to remixing, most notably 'bringing a
fierce pop quality' to David Sylvian's 'The Heart Knows Better' for his
recent 'The Good Son vs. the Only Daughter - The Blemish Remixes' project.
And then followed the highly rated and stunning debut album 'We Just Did What Happened And No One Came...'
I'll let Sweet Billy Pilgrim's very own Tim Elsenburg fill you in with a bit of info about the tracks....
"We got together with SVC to release the Brugada EP which comprises two
songs not available on the album, plus a hypnotic remix of album track
'Experience' by our immensely talented friend David Picking, AKA Rhinoceros."
"Brugada and Meantime were amongst the first things we did as SBP, and
really only didn't make it onto the album because they were too different
thematically, so we've decided to make them available, and do it for free as a
sort-of humble thank you to those who've kept an eye on us to make sure our
shoelaces weren't undone..."

Reviews
"Beautiful, just beautiful. If these tracks are anything to go by then
I can only hope great things are going to happen. I think you'll agree
it's sublime."
'Stars Spill Out of Cups' review @
Spoilt Victorian Child , Jan. 2005
"When it’s time to decide just what is the best piece of art to emerge
from a shed recently, the Turner prize-winner Simon Starling will have
a fight on his hands. Sweet Billy Pilgrim’s album was recorded in a
shed, and it’s a gem (the album, not the shed — I haven’t seen the
shed)."
'We Just Did What Happened And No One Came...' review @
The Sunday Times
"Elsenburg's perfectly shaped songs have the same power as magic
realist short stories that sieve the emotions and leave you reduced to
jelly, even though you're not sure what's going on."
'We Just Did What Happened And No One Came...' review @ MOJO
