Roddy Hart & The Lonesome Fire - Swithering (2016)

A band from Glasgow, Scotland, RHLF released its eponymous album in late 2013 on boutique Scottish label Middle of Nowhere Records. Helmed by acclaimed producer Danton Supple (Patti Smith, Morrissey), the record was hailed as distinctive, dark and atmospheric and led to a nomination on the fiercely contested long list for the Scottish Album of the Year award in 2014. After their return from South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, 2015 saw the band hunkered down in their studio in Glasgow writing a new record together. Admired Scottish producer Paul Savage (Mogwai, Emma Pollock, Admiral Fallow) was then brought on board to co-produce and realise their vision for the album. Within days of promo copies of the album being sent out, BBC R2s Bob Harris show asked to play Violet the first single "Swithering" is due for release on Middle of Nowhere Recordings.
