Eliza Shaddad, the Sudanese/Scottish songstress, is set to release her debut EP, Waters, June 16 via Beatnik Creative. She is well known to some as a member of EDM chamber group Clean Bandit, but her solo work on Waters is a significant departure and showcases Shaddad’s impressive versatility. “Waters” is slow-building, dark and tribal. Shaddad’s alto […]
Dark is coming sooner now. Time to layer up. For some of us, hibernation becomes natural, and not just physical. It’s a state of mind. We’d like nothing more than to curl up in bed, clench our toes under our comforters, and stay away from it all. Tomorrow is a new day.

The Moth & The Mirror is a Scottish supergroup of musicians from bands such as Frightened Rabbit, The Reindeer Section (a supergroup in its own right) and Arab Strap, among others. They are set to release their debut album, Honestly, This World, on October 10 via Olive Grove Records.
Honestly, This World‘s sound is […]
An artist who plays bells with his feet. This is the type of music we’re after at Knox Road.
But seriously, Esperi, aka Chris Lee-Marr, from Scotland, makes gorgeously intimate music. When I listen to “Dialled”, his newest song, I visualize a screen awash with sound waves. Touch the screen and an array […]
Isobel Campbell, formerly of Belle and Sebastian, is teaming up yet again with Mark Lanegan for her newest album Hawk, which will be released August 24 on Vanguard Records. Produced by Campbell herself, the record takes a turn for the dark and haunted. Lanegan sings on eight of the 13 tracks and Willy […]
Jack James comes to us from Glasgow, which is immediately discernable upon first listen to his music, as his Scottish drawl all but rings in our ears. He recently released his newest album, Quarter-life Crisis, entirely for free on Bandcamp, and with a little more polish it looks we could have the next […]
So Frightened Rabbit, who is really awesome, is releasing a single on November 16, and it’s going to be really awesome. I’m super serious, guys! Midnight Organ Fight was one of the best albums of 2008, so my hopes are high for the next album, which is set to come out sometime next […]
Hot on the heels of Song, by Toad Records’ latest success with Meursault comes Jesus H. Foxx (don’t be thrown off by the name, please), a seven-piece outfit out of Edinburgh, Scotland (where else? It is Song, by Toad‘s label anyway…). Jesus H. Foxx mix several different genres of music, which is perhaps […]
I learned about geography today! Apparently the Barents Sea is part of the Arctic Ocean located north of Norway and Russia. Interesting! It’s also the name of a Scottish band fed up with their music scene, who decided to try something more inspired and unique. Cool! They’ve recorded a “mini-album,” Bear […]
When I first heard of There Will Be Fireworks, they were described to me as “The Twilight Sad meets Explosions in the Sky.” Now that sounds ridiculous, so naturally I was all “yeah right, stupid” and the guy was like “give it a try, you’ll like it” and I was like “stop pressuring […]
