From the heart of Scotland, this is a band to satisfy your soul, chill you out, comfort you and make life generally seem a lot more worth while than it was before you listened to them – and the best part is, they're a guitar-driven band – in fact, they're a three guitar line-up, which is even better. Unbelievably – and I say that since I'd only ever heard of the band a few months back – this is their 9th album!! Yep – 9th!! The album opens with “Choose” and it's utterly exquisite – gorgeously strong flowing riffs from twangy , jangly and high-flying guitars, chunky rhythms and a river of smooth sounding lead vocals aided and abetted with lashings of vocal harmonies, almost worthy of the finest Beach Boys in parts, on a song that just flows as the depth, beauty, passion and soaring wonder of it all takes your heart with ease. The vocalks are gorgeous, the guitar river flows and the rhythms possess strength, as the whole thing combines to produce one of the most wondrous slices of Americana-styled excellence that's graced any album such as this – you're immediately hooked, and there are 12 tracks to go!! “Don't Know Where It Ends” is more solid in its approach, adding a strong sense of vintage Tom Petty to what's gone before and the effect is amazing – heck, this could be a great “lost” Tom Petty track, it's really that good – but the harmonies are superb, the guitar work equally so, the lead guitar breaks shine and the rhythm section sstrong and dependable, once again the impassioned lead vocals delivering a flowing song with quality, assurance and confidence, emotionally heartfelt on an ocean of guitars and just sensational. “Watch” starts with a more undulating, cascading rhythm as you half expect Richard Thompson's voice to come flowing out of the speakers, but instead a more high register mix of Petty and Pink Floyd comes from the vocal department as the song sails through verses and fabulous choruses leaving you in complete awe of it all as the guitars twang, riff and fly at the heart of the mix on a song that is sheer gorgeousness from start to finish, a mix of Petty, Beach Boys and Pink Floyd, without a keyboard in sight – bliss!!! “Don't Dream Of California” veritably bounces along with a swagger and strength that mixes all the previous elements and wraps them up in lashings of vocal harmonies on a chorus that you can't fail to get out of your head on a song that simply glows with pride, passion and purity, the sound of summer on a plate, the feel of the sun in your heart and sensationally shining in your soul. “Red Kite” starts with a riff worthy of George Harrison's “What Is Life”, only dirtier sounding, as the song sails straight into classic Byrds territory on something that could easily have been a classic in that band's back catalogue, such is the finesse and strength of arrangement. The vocals are exquisite, the harmonies wondrous, the guitars jangle, the rhythms ride the waves and the extra guitars provide depth and strength at all ends of the scale on a song that melts your heart every time you hear it. “If I Lose It” is another gem of a song, this time more modern in its approach but losing no sight of the decades of harmony-laden, jangly guitar bands that have existed yet never quite sounded this delicious, so well written, arranged, played and sung – hellfire, you'd kill to get one track sounding this hot – so far this band have managed 6 in a row – and they've not stopped yet!!! “Back Of A Postcard” strips it down to an electro-acoustic, almost early Dylan-ish level, while “Too Much To Say” returns to Tom Petty–meets–Byrds mode only with more of a relaxed flow to it, preferring to roll rather than rock, adding more exquisite harmonies to a song that can't fail to move you in every way, complete with twangy guitar break and more sublimely flowing rhythms. “Rain Down” is pure Petty-esque roll only deeper and more harmonious, more countrified than anything, but still with enough strength to lighten the heaviest heart, shine like a light in the dark and move you in ways that are positively uplifting. The final four tracks continue the excellence of approach, the sheer success of songwriting, the amazing arranging, the perfection of playing and the sensational singing that has made this album something to treasure for decades to come, as timeless and sonically wondrous as they come.
