There’s no legislation for the process of grieving – while mortality is a given, the reaction to it is an open book. It’s something Pure Reason Revolution explore on Coming Up To Consciousness, the art-rockers’ sixth album and their third since emerging from a 10-year hiatus in 2020.
The theme of death doesn’t so much run through the album as pace itself like a funeral cortege leaving a ceremony for the final resting place. It’s there in Dig Till You Die, as singer-guitarist Jon Courtney intones, ‘And I’m counting all the days till we next collide.’
