Download: Letters - Flash! Lights [New Track]

Words: Saam Das

It's not unusual that we forget to write about stuff we really like. It's the dread "blogger's backlog". It's also not unusual to be loved by anyone. Scottish five piece Letters should be loved by plenty though. Listen to their "new" track 'Flash! Lights!' below, which actually appeared a few months back. But consider this a reminder...

Surfacing: Letters

Words: Saam Das

I had been saving Letters for my February singles round up, after they gave away a two-track single for free in the middle of the month. But I don't really count that as a single, more two free downloads (embedded below), so they get an extended feature here instead.

I've heard the band are building up a head of steam in their native Scotland, sporting a style of music they consider "dark cello pop-noise". In terms of comparisons to other bands, these ears think they sound a bit like an enthralling mix of Frightened Rabbit and Idlewild.
