"A five piece with a healthy glow about them... Progressive post-rock Englishness that has a warm dew-fresh glisten to it - they’re in to those rather current indie-mathy areas again, that quietly spiralling epicness, those slightly angsty vocal lines - they have heir own beauty though, a comfort not questioned, and they understand the power of understated restraint and that a quiet less is so often so much more than more noise and aggression.

Ross Clark, there are three of them. One (pictured far right) is an acoustic guitar player from Edinburgh, drawing influence from artists such as ballboy, Stars and Half Man Half Biscuit. The second is from Ayrshire, and creates experimental tracks blending electronica with jazz and orchestral music. The third (pictured near right) is a young songwriter from Clydebank. He "writes songs for the broken-hearted" and according to his best friend "is an act not to be missed." He plays every Tuesday at the Oran Mor Acoustic Session and Open Mic Night.
