Supporting was like fulfilling a dream I didn’t realise I had. They’re such an important band in Scottish musical history so it’s was a real honour to be part of the reunion tour. They have a really hard core following so the Barras just ignited, It was really quite spectacular. Martin Metcalfe also of The Filthy Tongues is the lead singer I was stepping in for Shirley Manson on backing vocals. I should probably clarify I don’t front Goodbye Mr Mackenzie. McKenzie as well as support the band with your own work. You played the Barrowland Ballroom in December stepping in to front with Goodbye Mr. Word on the street is there won’t be live shows until next year. But as soon as it’s safe to do so we’ll be there! You had a date set at The Old Hairdressers for the album launch – is it frustrating not getting out to showcase it live for now, and is there plans to re-schedule? I want to get inside the listener, with songs like A Little While More and Shatter, the vocals are so present that they kind of creep in like a voice in your head. It’s been described as “Kate Bush meets Nine Inch Nails”, It’s etherial and dark, like a nightingale singing in Gotham city. What is your favourite track from the album and how would you describe the general theme of the record to new listeners?įavourite track – Shatter. Theme, I wanted it to be immersive. There was a mixture of excitement and nervousness of how it would be received but the response so far has been somewhat overwhelming. I was really blown away by the positive feedback from critics, industry peers, fans and friends. I’m a believer that what people think shouldn’t define or impact your achievement but it’s nice, I’m not going to lie. I feel proud. Your debut album came out April 17th, was it a while in the making and how does it feel to have it out there now? Have a read of what frontwoman, Marie Claire had to say below. She has been described as “ Kate Bush meets Nine Inch Nails” and has also drawn comparisons to the likes of PJ Harvey as well as Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and it is clear to see why once you lay yourself down with a set of headphones on and immerse yourself in the sheer beauty of this record.
Last week I caught up with one of Scotland’s most exciting artists, Seil Lien to speak about debut album ‘Shatter’.
