Noting their Highland origins, I expected some Celtic meditations or Runrig-style anthemic Scot rock. Wrong both times. The opener begins with a doodling funk bass riff before the lead singer purrs his praise to the King of Kings. Next song is all acoustic with lilting tune and haunting lyrics. Song three and a warbling Hammond adds colour to a haunting worship song. Production is a bit rough and ready but these guys definitely have something, namely an expressive singer and some good songs.
