Description
Lead singer of indie folk band 6 Day Riot releases her utterly distinctive a capella layered solo album.
Funded by Creative Scotland, this album sees Tamara, lead singer of indie folk band 6 Day Riot record in her native Glasgow for the first time and experiment with a new sound and a new way of working. Built around an original concept of interweaving layers of a capella vocals, Tamara was able to recruit the cream of Scottish musical talent to help develop and embellish this; incorporating strings, electric guitar and percussion from musicians whose previous collaborations include work with Teenage Fanclub, Salsa Celtica, Emeli Sande, Texas and Isobel Campbell.
The result is charming and utterly distinctive. Recurring themes of loss, uncertainty and doubt merge to form a whole that is somehow celebratory as well as meditative.
