What an inspiring debut—there’s real lineage here, the kind of melodic intuition that feels inherited from the C86 generation yet completely their own. The songwriting’s crisp, the harmonies effortless, and there’s that unmistakable warmth that makes the best Scottish pop feel both intimate and sky-wide. “October” especially stopped me—it carries the melancholy of memory without losing its brightness. I’ll be following them closely; The Cords feel like the next great bridge in that enduring jangle tradition.
Wow...sounds amazingly like Tiger Trap.
Good call!
Dude, this band is right up my alley! Love it!
I actually thought of you when I heard them. Enjoy!
Great interview and thanks for the intro! 🎶❤️🔥🤘🏻
