The Pearlfishers are a rock band from Glasgow, Scotland, UK. Formed in 1989, they have been creating music for over three decades. With their unique sound and captivating performances, the band has gained a loyal following of fans worldwide. Their music is a blend of rock, pop, and folk influences, resulting in a distinctive and memorable sound. From their early beginnings to their current success, The Pearlfishers continue to enchant audiences with their heartfelt lyrics and infectious melodies.

They’re back – and they’re back with a bang! Five years after their last album Open Up Your Colouring Book, Glasgow’s magnificent Pearlfishers return with a brand new album. It’s their eighth on Marina Records – a superb comeback full of masterful, classic pop music, driven by main man David Scott’s exceptional songwriting and arrangements. The album kickstarts with its beautiful title track – a song in the tradition of British songwriters like Paddy McAloon and Michael Head – about ordinary people dreaming and drowning in the big city. “Another foggy Monday morning / Sail the ferry to town / And think of all the people’s dreams...”. The song is led by a Bacharach-like flugel horn motif played by Colin Steele who recorded an entire album of Pearlfishers songs in terrific jazz arrangements: Diving For Pearls. Love and Other Hopeless Things also features a beautiful string quartet which recalls the graceful understatement of George Martin’s classic pop arrangements.
