Edinburgh four-piece Eagleowl make seductive, melodic and sweet Scottish folk that rambles nicely through a more unusual roster of instruments, including glockenspiel, harmonium and ukelele. The personal favourite, 'MF', is a mostly instrumental five minute long piece that shatters the 'sweet' factor lyrically with the line "Can I call you, Motherfucker?" But don't hold that against them. It's understated music worthy of soundtracking the best films and viewings of the finest landscape paintings, and particularly prescient in originating in Edinburgh as I can well imagine playing this while looking over the city's hills, Arthur's Seat.
