It often takes me a while to get round to listening to new records by bands with prosaic names. I tend to wonder if they put so little thought and energy into naming themselves whether their music is really going to be worth listening to. Such is the case with Glasgow via Lancashire Modern Studies and their latest The Weight of the Sun. Finally got round to it and it's certainly worth a listen.
It's a solid if not spectacular album. Locating itself somewhere between The National, Cowboy Junkies and modern folk. It's smooth and considered. There wasn't sufficient here to get me through the whole album but it's certainly a record with some fine tracks that many will gravitate to so I give you three from it should you wish to do so.
