Named after a small Scottish coastal holiday town, Aberfeldy make music that would suitably soundtrack life in such a place. Dreamy, natural and happy with everything, however, be warned, there are even hints of surf rock - forget West Coast California. East Coast Perthshire is where it's at! The Aberfeldy recording experience revolves around... …well, one microphone. The band have got back to basics in a truly individual way not done so much these days. Producer Jim Sutherland explains 'We are using techniques that were used by people like Sinatra when they didn't have any other option.' By ignoring the developments in studio technology over the past 50 years and working within such constraints, the band feel this is how they achieved the fresh sound on their forthcoming releases. Songwriter Riley Briggs' simplicity and honesty within his lyrics add a charm and connection with the listener. Ruth from the band explains 'A lot of people say that listening to us just makes them happy.' But it doesn't always work does it Riley? Commenting on the track What You Do, 'Another song I wrote to impress a girl... I played it her but she had a boyfriend'. Further info: www.aberfeldys.com |
