Another typically impressive performance from this Edinburgh-based seven-piece, one of the very few British bands who can genuinely stand up to their peers across the Atlantic. Still a bit too much in hock to their influences (Arcade Fire, Sigur Ros, Beirut) at times, but their new material maintains the high quality of their EP work, and it’s pleasing to see that over the last year they’ve garnered a sizeable and fervent fan-base. With their debut LP out in the near future, it’s make-or-break time for Broken Records; let’s hope, for the sake of this country’s music scene, they live up to their promise.
