Aberfeldy - Young Forever

Aberfeldy's debut album 'Young Forever' may just have provided you with the soundtrack to this summer. Conjuring up images of youthful, innocent, carefree & hazy afternoons with blue skies above, this Scottish pop combo's choral tendencies & beautiful harmonies will soon find you day-dreaming of some special place you'd rather be. The five-piece were formed by like-minded folk in Edinburgh's art cafes & pubs & the long player comes on the back of the singles Vegetarian Restaurant & Love Is An Arrow. If these were two breaths of fresh air that ruffled feathers & got folk talking, 'Young Forever' hits like a strong easterly gale coming in off the North Sea. At 12 songs it explores a more diverse Aberfeldy & eclectic range of songs. Opener a Friend Like You is what Brian Wilson's early Beach Boys would have sounded like if they'd have hailed from East Coast Perthshire & not West Coast California. Surf rock with a difference.
