In 2021, the band released their fourth and latest album Bright Magic, which is about Berlin's cultural and political role in Europe. The album received numerous accolades and was described by Electronic Sounds magazine as: "their most ambitious, leftfield and majestic work to date, their glorious creative peak, their magnum opus".

With their debut album Inform-Educate-Entertain from 2013, the band used old audio clips from the British Film Institute, and two years later they used similar methods on the follow-up The Race For Space to shed light on the superpowers' rivalry in the space race. The album received shining reviews from publications like The Guardian and The Independent, who wrote, among other things:

“Race is richly entertaining, immersive and evocative, orchestrated with fastidious care and feeling. The meaning remains ambiguous, but one point doesn’t: after this blast from the past, PSB’s future looks fine.”

Taking listeners from space down to the mines in southern Wales, on the album Every Valley from 2017, the band used the history of coal mining to highlight disenfranchisement. The album features vocal contributions from lead singer and frontman James Dean Brafield of Manic Street Preachers.

The album is a moving exploration of community and memories through the rise and fall of the British coal industry.
