Edinburgh’s Errant Boy are Song of the Day today. The 4-piece release ‘The Night Dilates’ 24th November via Permwhale Recordings and it is free to download. With tangible gloom, yet a satisfying romantic air, ‘The Night Dilates’ is revelatory.
Miss Danby & The What – ‘Humdinger’
Song of the Day comes from Newcastle today. Lo-fi, sweet, and Miss Danby’s vocal is sublime. With its vitriolic blasts, ‘Humdinger’ does everything to satisfy my stifled teenage angst. For people like myself that have drowned themselves in bands like Hole then there are obvious comparisons, the chord progressions and riffs might not be groundbreaking,…
Finn LeMarinel – ‘Known Voices’
I have often cited Scottish musicians such as Adam Stafford being some of our most underrated and under-publicised. I think it is time to admit that Finn LeMarinel really has to be placed in the same category. I find myself sitting, watching and listening these artists and sometimes questioning loudly ‘can everyone hear and feel…
United Fruit – ‘Open Your Eyes’
This will probably come as no surprise to many that this is Song of the Day today. United Fruit’s official first single ‘Open Your Eyes’ from forthcoming album Nightmare Recovery is quite simply massive.
Martin John Henry and Gillian Fleetwood – ‘Forestry’
Some of you may recognise the names behind today’s Song of the Day. Henry is frontman of epic band De Rosa and Fleetwood is one half of harp duo The Duplets, but also plays in Glasgow’s own State Broadcasters. ‘Forestry’ is taken from upcoming debut EP, On the Forest Floor and the pair are aiming…
Jonnie Common – ‘Shark’
Jonnie Common is one of Scotland’s musical elite. He creates some of the most innovative and bold electronic music I have experienced and ‘Shark’ is his finest work to date. ‘Shark’ is taken from forthcoming album Trapped In Amber which is released on CD, digital and vinyl 31st October via Song, By Toad Records. Common…
The Crae Crae – ‘Share It’
There used to be this 3-piece band Galchen. I discovered them in the first year of Podcart, since then drummer Peter Kelly has been one of the heartbeats of several musical projects. He has now formed a band with his brother Chris. The Crae Crae is the name I believe they have settled on. ‘Share…
Vukovi – ‘So Long Gone’
Song of the Day is courtesy of Vukovi. Out 29th September, ‘So Long Gone’ is the first single from the thrilling 4-piece on new label First Run Records.
Marnie – ‘Wolves’
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…
