        Masters of the folk-pop groove, this Glasgow four-piece are back with bright and breezy tunes to fill your summer. Chill out to the laid back harmonies of “Breathe” or stomp your feet to the rip roaring “Breaking the Ice”. (See http//youtu.be/So4Ec6Z093w). It appears a few pirates have joined the good ship Magic Lantern since last time out.    

    BELMONDO

Tiff Griffin is the creative force behind Belmondo, who are based in Glasgow. Acoustic guitar picking melts with lushly expansive arrangements, gorgeous strings and Griffin’s melancholy vocals, calling to mind Calexico, Scott Walker and King Creosote, while still sounding wholly individual. The end of 2012 saw the self-release of his debut EP, ‘Dressed Up for a Letdown’ .The space and atmosphere created by his music is captivating, creating a beautiful and eerily elegant feeling of emptiness, like walking deserted city streets at 5am.

BRAWTH

PELTS

www.facebook.com/Peltstheband      

Pelts is a brand new band from Glasgow, featuring members from previous and co-existing bands including The Recovery Club, Betatone Distraction and The Ocean Floor. They make a big joyful noise, with a little sinister darkness seeping in around the edges. You may detect flavours of bands such as Low and The Delgados, but you’d be wrong.  

 JAMIE FLETT
