This is a new one for me but here we go! The upcoming single by Glasgow folk/rock act Where We Lay Our Heads will be released digitally on the 19th March. The band who describe themselves as “Rock band pretending to be a folk band, a folk band with distortion pedals,” are doing a launch for it on the 21st at Captains Rest (expect a review if I make it along), and a small tour.
The track itself starts off with some picked electric guitar, violin and singing from singer Wull in an almost spoken way with a local dialect. They are then joined by the bass and drums playing a staccato rhythm to them go back into a calmer verse. The track builds on this format throughout to reach a peak at that end with Wull singing the chorus on his own. Produced by Paul Gallagher who has recently recorded Three Blind Wolves, John Knox Sex Club and Kid Canaveral it has that sort of Scottish folky sound to it, definitely a good choice by the band of who to work with. So in short a good song well produced song by the band who are indeed worth checking out.
