This Scottish collective have already appeared here earlier this year yet I can’t draw myself away from their terrific debut EP ‘A Dance To Half Death’. Somehow they’ve managed to utilise the numerous inputs to create a seamless whole. It is still a big terrace of sound but at no stage does it become a Post Pavilion assault on the senses. And then there are moments that are positively understated like ‘We Walk In The Room’, which you might expect to hear at the coolest Sunday service imaginable. There is a passion at work and some great songwriting to emphasise its authenticity. KD
