State Broadcasters – A Different Past [Olive Grove]

Returning for their third record, Glasgow’s State Broadcasters have teased this record as a ‘modern day sophisti-pop record’ showcasing a “more playful, upbeat side of the band” and for the first half of the record this is mostly true. The follow up to their 2009 debut The Ship and the Iceberg, and its 2012 follow up, the darker Ghosts We Must Carry, is a record that tries on everyone’s clothes –…

Friday Review - What happened to June being the first of the summer months?!  You'd think I'd be used to this by now having lived in Scotland all my life, yet I still get bummed out by crap weather at this time of year.  On the flip-side though, I have learnt how to deal the wintery-summer blues - a hefty heating bill and proper summer tunes, so here's one right here!

The State Broadcasters are a Glasgow based 6-piece and are part of the wonderfully organic Olive Grove Records.  This September the gang are releasing their 2nd album titled "Ghosts We Must Carry" which personally I am really looking forward to.  "Trespassers" is the first singled to be released from said album and gives us a taster of what we should perhaps expect.  I wasn't lying when I said this is a summer tune - I don't think there's any depth of bad-mood that this track couldn't pull you out of.

So, next time you're feeling blue, give this a listen and my bet is that everything will seem substantially peachier!
