ALBUM REVIEW: STORNOWAY | BEACHCOMBER’S WINDOWSILL

Stornoway are a band that are focused on creating folk-driven indie rock without the glamour. So it’s difficult to imagine how appearing on BBC’s ‘Later… with Jools Holland’ with Sting, Jay-Z and the Foo Fighter’s must have been like for a young band from Oxford – but then again Jools Holland must have realised the potential to take the risk on them, this is a theory but it is backed up with ‘Beachcomber’s Windowsill’ as it is a beautiful and soulfully compelling debut.
