Pure Reason Revolution announce new album ‘Coming Up To Consciousness’

PURE REASON REVOLUTION have announced a new album!

Titled Coming Up To Consciousness, the upcoming album from the British progressive rock band is the follow-up to 2022’s Above Cirrus, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via InsideOut Music.

The upcoming album was mixed by Bruce Soord, mastered by Steve Kitch, and sees Jon Sykes playing bass on one track. Coming Up To Consciousness is also the third album to feature cover art by Jill Tegan Doherty, who vocalist/guitarist Jon Courtney originally met in Berlin on a German language course.

Betrayal, deception, fear, grief, mortality, and questions of sanity: heady and primordial themes intend to animate the upcoming album. Jon Courtney says, “spawned from the bereavement after my dog was put down, a numb & dry creative spell ensued, but after a meeting with my writer friend Craig Walker [ARCHIVE/POWER OF DREAMS] & sharing how the last months had been, he urged me to get this experience down in lyrics & music. Suddenly the album flew out of me/us! In terms of recording process, this album was probably the most enjoyable to make, with the various collaborations firing creativity.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Dig Till You Die.
