   About Aberfeldy

NEW SINGLE AVAILABLE NOW! Download "Claire c/w Talk Me Round", the new single by Aberfeldy at Aberfeldy - Do Whatever Turns You On..

Hi.

Welcome to Aberfeldy's myspace. Hope you like the tunes.

Incredible shrinking feldys You've probably seen this one already, but what the hell...R.I.P Tom

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ABERFELDY'S 2nd ALBUM, "DO WHATEVER TURNS YOU ON" -

AVAILABLE IN ALL GOOD RECORD SHOPS!! (except the US and Canada-try amazon)" -

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
BUY THE CD at Amazon.co.uk ...or Play.com

or download at Aberfeldy - Do Whatever Turns You On..

WHAT THE CRITICS SAID -

Andy Gill for the Independent - "If you liked The Magic Numbers, you'll love Aberfeldy, an Edinburgh quintet who employ similarly cute boy/girl harmonies, with the twist that instead of guitars, most of these dozen ditties are led by the infectious organ figures of Ruth Barrie and Sarah McFadyen. The singer-songwriter Riley Briggs and his drummer brother Murray used to be in a Devo tribute band, and the influence lingers in the simple melodies and irresistible hooks of songs such as "Hypnotised" and "If - Then", as well as the cheesy Eighties tones of "Uptight". Besides these romance-related songs, Briggs deals with a range of other issues - disillusion ("Let Down"); talent and ambition pursued ("Never Give Up") and wasted ("Poetry"); a self-directed dig at anachronistic preferences ("The 1970s"); and the need to uphold one's individuality ("Whatever Turns You On"). Beneath the sugar-sweet tunes and harmonies, however, lurks a sardonic streak that stops the songs from curdling, as Briggs takes digs at trendies and the undeservingly successful. "We could take this town tonight," he sings at one point, "but I doubt it would be worth the fight."

The Scotsman said - "FOLLOWING the folksy charms of their debut album, Young Forever, which was recorded with all band members huddled shivering round one microphone, wearing fingerless gloves and eating stale bread and mouldy cheese (sort of), Edinburgh quintet Aberfeldy return with a bigger budget and a bigger sound, excellently served by the skills of Blue Nile producer Callum Malcolm. Do Whatever Turns You On is a wonderful pop album replete with cheesy keyboards, sunshine harmonies and self-doubt - but mainly with glorious tunes such as the KC & the Sunshine Band-meets-Phoenix sounds of the bittersweet Uptight and the sublime synth-pop melancholia of Never Give Up (imagine Ben Folds playing a Casio keyboard rather than battering a baby grand)....In his musical career, frontman Riley Briggs has done prog, garage and folk - now he has found his niche, rivalling Belle & Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch as Scotland's most inspired pop songwriter."

The Irish Independent said- "EDINBURGH FIVE-piece Aberfeldy released one of 2004's little known masterpieces - Young Forever - and they've followed it up with another dose of infectious pop. Their bittersweet, resolutely upbeat songs boast erudite lyrics wrapped around the loveliest of melodies....There are touches of Belle & Sebastian here and when frontman Riley Briggs and bandmates Ruth Barrie and Sarah McFadyen are in full voice, Abba's distinct male-female harmonising is recalled."

There are 2 Aberfeldy myspace sites. I can't remember how to log into the other one, so it's a graveyard, but there are some other tunes and photos.

CountryHome Forum, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , is one of the biggest Forum for country music in Europe and part of CountryHome, www.countryhome.de , Germany's Premier Online Country Music Magazine.

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

Thanks
