Something magical happens when the white-light harmonies and glassy guitar jangle of 60s California gets filtered through the gloomy worldview of Scottish indie boys.
Teenage Fanclub perfected the art with their 1991 album Bandwagonesque, so it’s fitting that that band’s sometime drummer, Francis MacDonald, discovered and nurtured the latest proponents of dreamy Scots jangle-pop, Glasgow’s Attic Lights.
MacDonald is the band’s manager and producer, and he’s evidently comfortable in the latter role, because debut single Never Get Sick Of The Sea boasts a wonderfully rich, shimmery guitar sound (no doubt bolstered by the 12-string axe that the fivesome borrowed from Belle & Sebastian’s Stevie Jackson for the recording session).
Between this and The Little Ones’ Ordinary Song, 2008 is shaping up to be a fertile year for harmony-soaked guitar gorgeousness.
Never Get Sick Of The Sea is released by Island on February 11, followed by the album in June.
