The Son(s)

I love a band with a bit of a backstory, a bit of mystique and The Son(s) (the parenthetical nature of the name becomes apparent if you read on) are just such a thing.

The Son(s) were three men in a band, in Edinburgh. One Son went to London, and made his fortune in the movies. Another Son went to Oxford and lives in a small commune there.
The last Son eventually went back to the North East of Scotland and wrote and recorded a self titled album of beautiful songs combining silky textured vocals with a guitar sound infused with Americana to create a sound that combines elements of Iron & Wine and Grizzly Bear with a liberal helping of The Beach Boys.

'Radar' is the first single to be pulled from this collection and is out on January 17, see it's somewhat disturbing video below:



If you like this, the album will be available in March.

I have had the privilege of hearing the debut album and I can't wait for the world to embrace it later this year.
