Marnie is back! Having released her debut solo album Crystal World back in August 2013, she now brings us ‘Wolves’. This is the first taster of her album due in 2015 and was produced by the very talented Jonny Scott (Unwinding Hours, Strike The Colours, Olympic Swimmers) Even though this has an effervescent pop veil,…
The Black Art – ‘Upside’
Having worked with both Allan J Swan and Ally Burton in a very different musical capacity, the news that they had formed a band came as a bit of a surprise. I have to admit that I immediately thought it was going to be something of the thrash metal persuasion, but this could not be…
Bronto Skylift – ‘Date With A Ghoul’
I think there was a point where people began to think that Bronto Skylift were no more, so it was a welcome surprise when they announced out of nowhere they had a follow-up album on the horizon. Date With A Ghoul is far more dexterous than previous offerings. Drummer Iain Stewart and guitarist Niall Strachan…
K Anderson – ‘Cocoon’
Song of the Day comes from Scottish born, Australia raised, and now London-based K Anderson. ‘Cocoon’ will hopefully lift those Tuesday woes and ensure a brief passage of happiness, well, until you press play again. Some might call me almost folk-averse, but the charm and charisma of Mr K Anderson has captured my sometimes miserable…
Exclusive: Boygirlanimalcolour – ‘JUPITER FIST’
We are a very incestuous bunch us bloggers! So whenScottish Fiction delivered this exclusive listen of a new Boygirlanimalcolour track I could not resist, it is also tremendous! With equal parts pop-punk and ’90’s emo swirling in a cacophony of frenzied guitars and crashing drums, Boygirlanimalcolour are back with a bang. Debut single ‘JUPITER FIST’…
Star Rover – ‘We Need Some Bodies’
Song of the Day comes from Edinburgh-based Star Rover. ‘We Need Some Bodies’ is joyous in every way, there are actually several hooks that get me so excited I could potentially require some form of sanitary aid everytime I listen to it. This is glorious rock that draws enough power to put them in a…
Life Is Like A Box Of Records: Nico Cham (Fuck Art, Let’s Dance)
Today’s Life Is Like A Box Of Records is scribed by Nico Cham from praised band Fuck Art, Let’s Dance.
AmatrArt – ‘Forget About The Last Time’
Song of the Day comes from Glasgow-based electronic quartet AmatrArt. ‘Forget About The Last Time’ was released 6th September and I had absolutely no idea that they existed until this week. The track itself as pop as it is has this forlorn undertone that makes this more dreamy than dancefloor. Their influences may be obvious,…
The Phantom Band – ‘Clapshot’
The Phantom Band have revealed another gem from their third record Strange Friend. ‘Clapshot’ was made by artists Graeme Roger & Kevin Reid for The Royal Scottish Academy / Morton Award for Lens Based work. A reminder that the band also tour the UK this Autumn: 24th Sept: Hoots, Inverness 26th Sept: The Sage, Gateshead…
Wozniak – ‘Paper Hat’
I have been listening to Edinburgh’s Wozniak on and off for the last few weeks, it is only now that I am really appreciating what an excellent band they are.
