This band is MINT. Pure, solid, the kinda after-dinner, sugar-coated, expensive fucking mints.
I bought their debut album yesterday. Oh my sack. If there was ever a time for me to say I missed home, listening to these tracks (which include a tribute song to my hometown "Two Bridge") made me nostalgic as shit! They've been dubbed as the "Scotland's Vampire Weekend", but I think that's selling them short. VP has an underlying electro feel to it, you can hear it in the bass in most of their songs. Bwani's sound is entirely varied - at times it's playful, at other times hard indie-rock, and there's always some afro-carribbean sounds crammed in there too.
These guys are gonna go far.
Makes me proud to be Scottish.
