NB: Please email us if you would like to hear further tracks from our upcoming album
olympicswimmers@hotmail.co.uk
We formed in 2009 and have self-released two EPs (in 2009 and 2010). In 2011 we received support from Creative Scotland to record a full length album and spent the latter half of the year recording this with Iain Cook (Aeregramme/The Unwinding Hours). We have now finished this and will be releasing it in 2012. A track from this ("Where It Snows") can be heard on this profile (and video at http://vimeo.com/33913001).
We have been lucky enough to tour in support of Idlewild (2009), and more recently Admiral Fallow (2011), and have supported Frightened Rabbit, The Unwinding Hours, The Besnard Lakes, Junip, My Latest Novel, Bowerbirds among others.

“They've got pools full of the melancholy lyrical attractiveness that made The Delgados so enjoyable.” – THE SCOTSMAN
"well-crafted arrangements full of unexpected twists and turns" - SUNDAY MAIL
