The Son(s) release their self-titled debut album today Olive Grove Records.

The first single from the album was Radar, released back in January. The track combined silky textured vocals and a guitar sound infused with Americana to create a sound that combines elements of Iron & Wine and Grizzly Bearwith a liberal helping of The Beach Boys. But this was just the tip of the iceberg. The tracks “Dogs, Boys & Men“, which will feature as Spinner‘s Track of the Day in a few weeks time, is a great example of The Son(s) diversity showing their influences aren’t their anchor.

The band has already received brilliant support from their native Scotland with various DJs on BBC Radio 1 Scotland(Ally McCrae and Vic Galloway) giving them a spin. Magazines like The Skinny and The List have also said some lovely words with The List comparing the band to Midlake but mentioning that the album has an “accomplished sound of its own.”
