Inspired by the storytelling theatrics of Harry Nilsson and Randy Newman, Tapir!’s tender songcraft glistens with folkish charm and ambrosial melodia.

Employing the use of paintings, set design, soundscapes, costumes and short films in their live shows, ‘Tapir!’ invite the viewer into their exciting and mysterious world. Set in a fictional universe of green hills, choppy seas and red creatures, Tapir! tell the story of the Pilgrim, a creature embarking to unearth the lands history, meeting all sorts of strange characters along the way. Inspired by the storytelling theatrics of Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman and Spelling, Tapir!s tender songcraft glistens with folkish charm and ambrosial melodia – whilst twiddling guitars, drum-machines and vocal flights flutter your heartstrings all the merry while. Recorded by the likes of Honeyglaze’s Yuri Shibuichi, their recently-released debut EP Act 1 The Pilgrim is set to complete in their upcoming album The Pilgrim, Their God And The King Of My Decrepit Mountain with two further acts next year. With a host of London headlines & Green Man fest under their belt & support garnered from the likes of Loud & Quiet and So Young Magazine, a successful year for the band is finalising with a tour alongside Prima Queen this Nov & the End of the Road Fest Xmas.
