A Pyke Of Patina Slate
A Pyke of Patina Slate is Pea Sea's third studio album, which has been a long time in the making. It was recorded in Berlin, Sunderland, and Oxford. The album completes a trilogy following 2017's Lonnin Life and 2013's Field Music assisted The Debatable Land.
Tom English (Maximo Park) and Peter Brewis (Field Music) contributed drums and production, with additional help from Tim Greaves & Adam Serafini. The songs on the album are a mixture of introspective ballads ("Now that You're gone," "Home from the Hill") and more folk-tinged narratives ("The Loam," "The Dominie's Log"), as well as stomping rockers ("Silloth Green," "Youth Unit").
There is even an exercise in primal screaming ("Lascaux Motifs") as an inverted paean to Rollen's other band, BBC6 Music's Marc Riley favourites, Les Cox Sportifs. As with previous Pea Sea efforts, there is the ever-present poetic storytelling, but this time the mood is darker with an existential reportage of hard times, as exemplified in "Mother England Parts 1 and 2."
