A Scottish trio that started with experimental energy and grew into arena-sized choruses.
For their early, raw energy, try 'The Conversation Is.' or 'Hero Management'. 'A Hunger In Your Haunt' from 2020 gives you a sense of where they landed.
They've been at it since 1995, building from the raw, experimental energy of early albums like 'Blackened Sky' to the broader sounds of later records. Songs like 'Many Of Horror' and 'Mountains' became staples, balancing big, anthemic choruses with their knotty, rhythmic guitar work. The single '57' from 2004's 'Infinity Land' brought them wider attention.
They formed in Kilmarnock, Scotland in 1995 with Simon Neil on vocals and guitar, James Johnston on bass, and Ben Johnston on drums. Things shifted with 2004's 'Infinity Land', and later records like 'Only Revolutions' and 'Ellipsis' showed them working with orchestral or electronic textures. They've released eight studio albums, most recently 'A Celebration of Endings' in 2020.
