Bricolage

2009 release from this Scottish outfit. The symbiotic relationship between Glasgow and an indefinable, distinct breed of extraordinary Pop is the object of limitless fascination. Virtually from the moment the legendary Orange Juice transformed the once barren Scottish metropolis into a wellspring of tuneful, literate, joyous music, new bands have continued to flow from it's environs. From the early-'80's explosion that begat Altered Images, the Bluebells, the Pastels, and many others, to latter-day heirs such as Teenage Fan club, BMX Bandits Belle & Sebastian, and Franz Ferdinand, the city is as synonymous with the abstract notion of indie as Detroit is with the Motown sound or New York with early Punk. 12 tracks.
