I have been instructed that my summer vacation has ended. From whom was such a draconian edict handed down? Well, the spouse, the office, and a few blog readers -- I was badly outnumbered. Harsh, to be sure, but not entirely unexpected. So, chained to the desk, we begin again.
The first question is what to bring to our readers. When I began writing for the blog about two decades ago I focused a lot of my time on Scottish indie, so it seemed appropriate to write the first post-vacation post about the fabulous news that Slumberland Records has unearthed the never released album album by Edinburgh's Catburgers. Titled Galashiels, it will be available on September 25. We fully expect that this album will be treasured by lovers of jangle, C86 and twee-edged post punk. By the way, Galashiels is a town southeast of Edinburgh.
The first single from the album is the buoyant "I've Got a Friend". A listening note: While we included the video for atmosphere, on our players the Bandcamp link delivered better sound quality.
Galashiels will be available in digital, CD and vinyl formats.

That sounds like a lovely way to return from a summer break — discovering an overlooked Scottish indie record with that jangle/C86 feel is much more appealing than simply jumping back into routine. “I’ve Got a Friend” sounds like the kind of upbeat track that deserves a few repeat listens, especially on vinyl. I’d put it on, settle in, and later unwind with something different like https://honeybets.net/ before calling it a day.
A debut album can be especially exciting when a band already has a distinctive sound and a strong first single that gives listeners a clear sense of what to expect. For a different kind of online entertainment, more information is available at betjee casino.
