Findlay Napier - It Is What It Is (2021)

Findlay Napier is set to release his fourth album. One of Scotland's finest singer songwriters, he has been described as Micheal Marra meets Elvis Costello, a Caledonian Loudon Wainwright III or a Scottish James Taylor. His songs are full of earthy humour, hopeless love and biting satire. It Is What It Is follows his 2017 and 2015 albums Glasgow and VIP (respectively). VIP: Very Interesting Persons was number two in the Daily Telegraph's top dozen folk albums that year and categorically commanded him musical VIP status. In 2017 he turned those same supreme songwriting gifts and truly magnificent vocals, to his adoptive home-town Glasgow on VIP's hotly anticipated follow-up 2019 saw his collaboration with award winning songwriter Megan Henwood tour across the UK in support of their Story Song Scientist's EP. Their Quantum Lyrics tour and second EP are coming in November 2021. "... one of the finest songwriters and storytellers of the contemporary Scottish folk scene." Folk Radio UK "5***** #2 Twelve Best Folk Music Albums of 2015: An inventive and engaging album... Findlay Napier (the sweet voice behind the beard)... an original engaging treat." The Telegraph "Coming on like a Caledonian Loudon Wainwright ... A superbly crafted compilation of Songs" Acoustic Magazine. "A wonderful cacophony of bizarre and brilliant tales of real people."
