The Douglas Firs

Here's a post I'd been meaning to do for a while and for various reasons didn't get round to. The Douglas Firs are the brainchild of musician Neil Insh and a group of friends who hail from Aberdeen and Edinburgh variously. The music they produce is ethereal, very beautiful. Multi-layered compositions with breathy, whispering vocals that really draw you in. Each time you hear a track you find something new to focus on. Last year saw the release of the debut album "Happy As A Windless Flag" and this year the release of a new EP (in March). You can find all of the above on their Bandcamp site - link above. It's completely different to anything you'll ever have heard before and needs a few listens to full appreciate how fantastic it is. But fantastic it is, and hopefully a new album will be popping up later on this year. Definitely worth a few moments of your time.
