British Alt Rock trio Prince Bishop released their debut album All Is Due last week. Hailing from Durham, North-East England, the trio successfully attempted to create a unique sound that reflects a journey of self-discovery.
Prince Bishop originally recorded as a vocal and acoustic guitar performance before Covid reared its ugly head. Instead, they decided to create a 'Live band in a room 'experience. They did this with enhanced layers of studio work. The 44-minute LP features luscious vocal melodies, sweet acoustics, and powerful alternative rock.
'The Good of Good Will' is a haunting passage of Hammond organ amongst a crescendo of reverb and solemn harmonies to welcome the album to a new audience.
Next up is 'Come Alive' a more upbeat Indie track with vocal melodies over simply strummed guitar rhythms. The album continues in this tone with radio-friendly songs like 'Return' and the latest single 'Soul of a Man' The band feature some introspective ballads in the nature of 'Why' and 'Way of Things'
The songwriter has chosen tracks wisely to convey to the audience their journey from everyday struggles to inner peace. Other highlights to listen out for on 'All is Due' are the dreamy soundscapes on 'Roman Roads' and the lullaby 'All is Due' on the final track.
Overall, Prince Bishop will feel they have paid their dues with a solid debut full of wistful lyrics, tantalizing music, and an uplifting voyage of discovery.
