Tapir! is a six-piece indie folk band from London. Known for their blending of folk music with genres such as post-punk and art pop, their first album, The Pilgrim, Their God and the King of My Decrepit Mountain, was released on 26 January 2024. The band consists of musicians from South London and formed in 2019, releasing their first single, "My God", in 2022. They have played live shows and festivals, opening concerts for artists such as Ian Sweet and Explosions in the Sky. Their musical style has been compared to folk art and is described as "intricate and thorough" indie folk, with many aspects of their music being inspired by biblical, mythical, and literary sources.
