we've been described as sounding like Hood, the Dirty Three, Spiritualized, Neil Young, Red House Painters, Tindersticks, John Cale, Sigur Ros, Sparklehorse, Mogwai, Graham Coxon, Low, "the White Stripes without the tits", "like the Jesus and Mary Chain had wandered into a folk club", "proof that you can cross Nirvana with the Proclaimers", "70s bastard grandchildren of doom" and "really atmospheric. Like Braveheart".
lo-fi post folk ensemble from Edinburgh, Scotland. We try and make the best music we can.
The Scotsman said that we sound like "the soundtrack to the saddest, most beautiful art-house film you've never seen." The List once described us as "simply beautiful" in a "Your new favorite bands" article. Is This Music also said that we make "music of simple yet wondrous beauty". The Skinny said we create soundscapes "so delicate - almost hypnotising". Song, By Toad described us as being "torturously slow". Luckily, we're one of the few bands in the world that regard that as a huge compliment.
In the past we've been lucky enough to share a stage with such acts as Field Music, A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Woodpigeon, Jack Rose, Chris Corsano, Barzin, Capulet, The Low Lows, Adrian Crowley, Serafina Steer, Broken Records, The Strange Death of Liberal England, Viking Moses, Tiger Saw, Golden Ghost, Zoey Van Goey, Make Model, The Twilight Sad, De Rosa, The Week That Was, Malcolm Middleton, Los Campesinos!, and My Latest Novel.
