Beautiful Rare things & randomness
...to transport you to wild places where the moonlight fractures through the trees and the waves lap on a gravely shore; ethereal baroque folk-tinged indie; Music to drift into your dreams to; Transportation to a parallel universe.
Newsflash! The Storm in Acoustic Idols award sweep shock! The Storm have reportedly been whipping up an, er, Storm, in Edinburgh. Voted the overall Acoustic Idols of 2008 last month, they swept up nearly all the awards at Edinburgh's annual celebration of the capital's talents, leaving barely anything for the scores of other amazing folks. So, The Storm figured, "aha, so a few folks are getting it... Woohoo!! First Edinburgh, next stop, the world! (watch out ~:-) )
The Storm is brewing: The vocals drift over cello-led melodic guitar lines, glockenspiel & djembe. I, Lindsay, created these musical meanderings with the aid of three other very talented musicians. The Storm feature Miss Neelofer Banglawala ..o, Miss Karen Austin on harmonies & glock, and Mr Nelson Wright on djembe & harmonica. I write music for The Storm when i'm in tents in remote places mostly in the mountains where you get hit by the violence of the weather (the storms!) and the calmness of the world. They inspire me. I like walking and running and skiing through the mountains while i'm figuring out new parts....

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAID
"intimate and reflective... interesting rhythms, contrasting a gentle use of the guitar, and stabbing plucking... filled with hints of Nick Drake, Laura Veirs and Elliott Smith... its gentle and full of emotional depth." Scottish Music Network
"A haunting finesse of a song... the audience was mesmerised by a stunning set" Mr J Pugh, OOTB
"Beautifully crafted songs and light yet mesmerising vocal performances”. The Skinny
"I think Lindsay’s recent Nepal trip has given her some mystical power" James Igoe, Out of the Bedroom
