...according to our on 31 December 2006.

I'd probably say that I was Alasdair Roberts number one fan. I mean with no disrespect to anyone else who adores his music I'd like to put myself forward for the position (if he wants a number one fan that is otherwise I'll keep my distance). Anyway he has a new album out on Rough Trade (hoping for a post James Yorkston cash in?). I really love this stuff though I always prefer his music when its stripped down and minimal. Theres plenty of instrumentation on show here which threatens to bog the album down half way through but Alasdair like the trooper he is manages to pull through. Fans of the Appendix Out albums are gonna love this but if you've ever had your heart tweaked by Bonnie Prince Billy or James Yorkston then you are gonna love this too. Farewell Sorrow is well worth checking out!!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
