My Maudlin Career
“Latest from these Glaswegian indie-poppers blends 1950s beach music, country, and bubbly orch-pop to complement their alternately romantic and cynical lyrics.”

Their fifth album, featuring guest vocal harmonies from Neko Case and Jim James, clears out the symphonic pomp of 2009's My Maudlin Career to double down on classic beach music and soul underpinnings.”
