Post-rock bands have been a bit hit and miss for me over the last 6 months. There are artists that have spewed outpourings of non-descript, dull and predictable numbers, then there are those that have found their strength and produced spine-shattering sonic waves of joy. Vasa are one of the latter bands and I am…
A Mote Of Dust – ‘Wolves In The Valley’
I often forget the incredible musicians I have met since Podcart began. People I have idolised from afar, ladies and gentlemen that frequent my record collection and those that have soundtracked the happiest and bleakest moments of my life thus far. Craig B is one of these artists. Aereogramme and The Unwinding Hours have a…
Life Is Like A Box Of Records: Nina Glencross
Today’s Life Is Like A Box Of Records is with journalist Nina Glencross. You can find her writing for the likes of DIY, The List, Buzzfeed and more. She is also one of my favourite Scottish music journalists.
HQFU – ‘Dust & Dirt’
Song of the Day today comes courtesy of Glasgow-based producer HQFU. Having previously received the accolade under her real name, Sarah J Stanley, the multi-talented artist has now shifted seamlessly from her folk roots to euphoric electronica. ‘Dust & Dirt’ is the first taster from forthcoming EP Ca$hle$$ Lip$ released in November. This is infectious,…
Video: Kathryn Joseph – ‘The Worm’
Kathryn Joseph has teamed up with BAFTA nominated filmmaker Tim Courtney, BAFTA nominated Director of Photography Andrew O’Connor and producer Chris Robb to make the extraordinary new video for her haunting track ‘The Worm’. This wades through overwhelming swells of sadness to produce something aurally and visually spectacular. The power of this relationship is undeniable,…

Black International – ‘A Fence To Keep People Out’
I have been following Black International for around 4 or 5 years now. I have seen them progress, work to the point of almost giving up, but always stay true to the sound and ethos that they initially adopted. It comes as a really satisfying moment to see the Edinburgh duo release some of their…
Life Is Like A Box Of Records: Chris Beltran
Life Is Like A Box Of Records comes courtesy of Chris Beltran. Musician, producer, booker, A & R – he does it all. A staunch supporter of new Scottish music, he is just generally a great human being.
Tongues – ‘You Never Knew Me’
With an EP due out next month, this is the 2nd taster from Glasgow producer Tongues. Kill The Waves’ frontman Tim Kwant continues his epic journey on the starry plain of emotive electronica proving that he is one of the most talented and exciting musicians to emerge from Scotland. ‘You Never Knew Me’ is the…
Youngstrr Joey – ‘Parents’
Youngstrr Joey hit my radar thanks to the recent GMO6 – Scottish Indie Sampler. The Number4Door trio are label pals with the likes of Chrissy Barnacle, which helps boast its eclectic roster. Song of the Day ‘Parents’ packs sludgy riffs and swaggering basslines. This is abrasive, garage band aggression funnelled onto a demo recording. Precisely,…
