BN: Great Pagans

Event information

Brighton Noise are beyond ecstatic to present:

GREAT PAGANS

Blissful and retrocentric, Great Pagans produce finely tuned dream-pop with effortless grace and character. New single ‘Renaissance’ is out on May 18th and marks a promising direction for the already critically acclaimed act.

Formed around the songwriting of frontman Alex Painter, Great Pagans are part of the highly creative Anti-Ghost Moon Ray collective/label based in Brighton. Anti-Ghost Moon Ray are concerned with cultivating a carefully curated release catalogue, and as a co-founding member (alongside fellow acts Gazelle Twin, Acquaintance and Bernholz) Alex and the band adhere to the central ethos of independence and artistic freedom.

‘Renaissance’ is a dreamily hopeful eulogy to the end of the world. The song imagines escaping to watch it all crumble from afar only to rebuild itself again. It recalls Angelo Badalamenti, wistful pop and Berlin era Bowie, swelling to a melancholic shoegaze crescendo. The single follows their last; ‘Cupid Untethered’, released by LA’s Manimal Vinyl, sharing a roster with the likes of Warpaint, Bat For Lashes and Yoko Ono.
