Stornoway

In 2010 Stornoway alighted on the UK music scene, eschewing academia and the dreaming spires of their hometown Oxford, with their single ‘Zorbing’.  They were set apart by a gentle magnetism and lead singer Brian Briggs’ “exceptional ear for that most distinctive of sounds – the British pop melody”.  

Now in 2015 Stornoway are set to release their third full-length album ‘Bonxie’ on 13th April, accompanied by the single ‘Get Low’.  The first single from the album was ‘The Road You Didn’t Take’ and it won the 6 Music Rebel Playlist and the band headlined the folk stage at the 6 Music Festival in Newcastle last month.  Whilst ‘The Road’ showcased Stornoway’s more pastoral side, the band’s talent for tapping into the seam of golden pop has not abandoned them.  ‘Get Low’ is probably their most shining example of this since their debut..
