ABOUT PILGRIMS:
Nostalgic and wistful yet expansive in range, Pilgrims of Yearning’s unique sound was born in 2018, after Juls and Claudio moved to the United States from Chile. Their sound has been described as "your soundtrack to introspection, lament and disdain", and as an eclectic mix of Post-Punk, French Coldwave and Latin American influences. They have previously billed with bands like She Past Away, Kaelan Mikla and Vision Video. Their new album "Gemini", long awaited after their EP Hadal released in 2022, is their most daring work yet, mixing dark genres as effortlessly as they switch between Spanish and English in most of the tracks.

LYRICS:
Floating around, leaving trails of
Soft sparkles in an array of shapes
I can feel their mellow shine
Tickling and quivering down my spine
My mind glides
Turning sounds into colors
And numbers into cobwebs
And in my heart
Your silhouette irradiates
A blinding essence
Chorus:
Your voice dances
Through my soul it soars
Like a million little fires
Lighting a red orb
Your figure mesmerizes
Flowing through the floor
Like a million blooming pyres
Blown out and reborn
Running torrents of intertwined words
Bubbling over
Prowling around as some nighttime birds
Non stop
But your eyes
Summon quietness and mornings
Before the sun rises
Like ambrosial
Melodies cradling
The fading stars
(Chorus)
Flashing flashing
A myriad of beams fall
Fireflies
A new song they become
