Meursault , "Crank Resolutions" I first heard Scottish band Meursault a few months ago when Off The Beaten Tracks posted a fantastic acoustic set featuring the band's singer Neil along with Scott Hutchison from Frightened Rabbit . Not sure how I'd missed them before, but that set convinced me I needed to hear more, and fast. Thankfully, it wasn't long until I ended up with a copy of the band's fantastic new album, All Creatures Will Make Merry , and I've been listening to [...]
Words: Gareth O'Malley. My god. Scotland is turning out so many good bands that I'm struggling to keep up. Yet another has been brought to my attention recently. Those four are 'epic low-fi' act Meursault - and yes, I know what I just said is a contradiction in itself, but I can think of no other way to describe them. Think Arcade Fire on a shoestring budget but with the passion that was there in their 'Funeral' days. Sounds like a winning combination, right? Absolutely. Their second album's out now, entitled 'All [...]
For the majority of the folk that visit this site, Meursault will be a band with whom you are very familiar. If you haven't come across the Edinburgh 'folktronica' outfit then you are in for a bit of a treat. Their debut album, 'Pissing On Bonfires/Kissing With Tongues' was one my personal favoiurites in 2009 [...]
I've broken rank before the voting section and let Mrs Hugger soak up the atmospherics of the Romanian entry all on her own. With so much eurotunnel schlock being showcased my ears needed an audio holiday and Meursault stepped into the breach with this James Yorkstonesque jewel. It's taken from their second album 'All Creatures Will Make Merry' (released on good old Song, By Toad Records , a label/blog we've become increasingly jealous of) and marks an about turn for the Edinburgh collective (all fashioned out with new band members and unexpected but welcome digital alliances). If anything Meursault [...]

It is a bumper week for Scottish bands on tour internationally this week with 18 bands playing across the world. Highlights include Camera Obscura and A-Lix in South America, Codeine Velvet Club in Romania and the mighty Bis at the Primavera Festival. Vic has more on Bis alongside the full listings below: As a side note, [...]
Through a wash of loose, overdriven guitars and thunderous drums, a thickly accented Glaswegian voice stumbles and allures throughout a landscape of melodies. This is the structure of Frightened Rabbit's third full-length album, The Winter Of Mixed Drinks , eleven songs of ambitious focus and monumental proportions. Each track is a mini-story right down to its charmingly sloppy title. The band's honest and overwhelming journey of sound means there's no shortage of moving drama to fill up the listener's ears as well as penetrate the heart of the listener. You'll find that Frightened Rabbit are [...]
Photography by Jodi Miller It was a beautiful Wednesday evening in mid-April when I, sun slowly but surely settling in for the night off to the west somewhere, found myself lost in my old black beat-em-up pick-em-up 1980 Toyota Pick-Up in the "neck of woods" that I should know by the back of my hand. I'm over-confidence's bitch tonight, I thought as the clock on my phone was getting uncomfortably close to 8pm, the time I was fucking supposed to be there! I thought right now as I think back to [...]
I'm afraid the gig listings this week are going to be little more than a great steaming post of Toadspam. We've a lot on this week, and I'd hate to think you'd let other people's wonderful creative efforts distract you from the fact that the most important thing you can do this week is give a needy, gin-soaked virtual amphibian a bit of validation. So as such please bear in mind that it is most definitely NOT the This is Music fourth birthday celebrations this Friday, and Meursault are certainly NOT going to go down to Sneaky Pete's [...]

Time again for bit of a Song, by Toad Records and Various Other Bollocks update, because there are several little bits of news in which you may all be interested. No, make that very interested. I'll start with the tour stuff, I think. Meursault get back from their European tour this weekend, and I am generously going to give them about half an hour to rest and recuperate, before getting the lazy fuckers' noses back to the grindstone. They are playing a homecoming gig at next Friday's (21st) This Is Music birthday [...]
Crank Resolutions mp3 Meursault All Creatures Will Make Merry .... buy it Sleet mp3 Meursault's sophomore album, All Creatures Will Make Merry , has carried me away. No, I take that back. It has dragged me away, far away from all the other music in my inbox and on my iphone and in my music library. This is truly the album that we, who are true fans of this band, have been waiting for, and wishing would come sooner to our doorstep. Those of you [...]

From Deep In The Woods by Robin Barber Thee Oh Sees - "I Was Denied" I was denied the title of King of Mud Beach. I was 14 and I was a bully. Mud Beach was a crappy septic lake off a campground where I spent my summers in the "care" of my great uncle Hugh and his caterpillar colonies. I used to wake up with caterpillars on me. One time with one on each eye, I thought I was dead. I used to sit [...]

Meursault ist nicht nur ein französischer Weinort, sondern auch eine schottische Folktronic-Band. Wären deren Mitglieder Winzer, würden sie ausserordentlichen Wein servieren. Neil Pennycook heisst der charismatische Winzermeister, und mit seinen Mannen kultiviert er wahrlich besondere Reben. Anstatt die Träubchen zu hegen und pflegen beschallen sie sie mit einer seltsamen Mischung inbrünstig vorgetragener Lyrics, folkiger [...]
