Next up on the old ears is Zoey Van Goey's 'The Cage Was Unlocked All Along' CD on the Left In The Dark label. This Glasgow band create indie pop with a tiny smattering of folk. This isn't really my thing but in terms of this stuff it's fairly high quality and they're clearly a talented bunch of musicians who play drums, drum machines, acoustic and electric guitars, pedals, Microkorg, Electribe EA-1, piano, viola, banjo, dulcimer, pump organ, loops and samples, xylophones, tambourines, sleigh bells, shakers, coffee mugs, fingar cymbals, vocals, fake mellotrons, fake celeste, real Casios and giraffe necks (well all except the last one which I added to the list myself). The vocals are a mixture of boy girl with some intelligent and quirky lyrics.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
