The track is the Brighton based band’s first release in four years
Following the release of their encouraging 2020 debut EP Don’t Trust Anyone, Brighton based indie rock outfit Pickpockets have gone away and refined their sound, returning with their thoughtful new single ‘Beautiful Cynic’, a rousing showcase of the engrossing and nuanced feel of their sound.
The stripped-back acoustic track explores the pitfalls of falling in love, the desperation for things to go right that can often lead us to letting our guard down and making ourselves vulnerable, intoxicated by delusion and our hopes for the future. There is a really delicate and thoughtful charm to ‘Beautiful Cynic’ that feels rewarding and compelling throughout. The stirring nature of the sound and the thoughtful, relatable narrative makes for an intoxicating listening experience that is packed full of personality and charm, announcing the return of Pickpockets in emphatic and memorable style.
