  • Sounds Like

    .."A Hebridian take on The Beach Boys" - The Daily Record ........“...a band that writes illustrious music whilst their admirable naivety shines through.” - The Scotsman........"they sieve the folk through a tough, dislocated bass and drums power that hints at post rock dislocation whilst their brass and violin also give a nod to the dark, brooding soundscapes of the recently reformed Godspeed You Black Emperor as well as the Dirty Three- whose story telling, violin plucking air of dissolution they also hint at. They also ooze a cool and passionate intensity as they transport themselves and the audience to somewhere entirely different. Their sound is utterly original and the band is pure genius." - John Robb

    What's up The Seventeenth Century? How it passes there and back again like a tear drop glistening in moonlight. In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you. May you always have stables of horses to service your needs. Cities crumble, skies ignite spontaneously in your presence. The skin I shed is a perfume that makes water bubbles so terribly clear to me. Please let me hear more of that wonderful sound. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure.

    What's goin' on The Seventeenth Century? Your sweet voice is like the application of aloe vera upon a sunburnt back. How beautiful is the snowshine in your eyes, so directly current from the static in your mind. The expanse of your beauty is a void no universe could ever fill. Cities crumble, skies ignite spontaneously in your presence. All my thoughts are lost to your graceful gaze? Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a volcano in heat. You have not yet reached the height of your creativity.

    Hello The Seventeenth Century, Your essence is equal to the beauty of a galaxy. How beautiful is the snowshine in your eyes, so directly current from the static in your mind. All my thoughts are lost to your graceful gaze? Your reflections bring happiness that rends naked glass. In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you. You breath as delicately as vapors flowing towards an attractive flame. I keep searching for you between the cushions. The skin I shed is a perfume that makes water bubbles so terribly clear to me.
