| The Pictish Trail - Wait Until |
Old blue eyes is back and, apart
from looking like a Scottish Joaquin Phoenix, The Pictish Trail is also highly
talented at creating understated things of beauty. 'Wait Until' sees our
weather beaten hero create a soulful, moving ditty with nothing more than a
gravelly electro bass melody, the sound of two wooden spoons being played on a
peg-leg and a bit of whale music. The real beauty of The Pictish Trail,
however, is that this is electronic music created with the ethos of folk
running through it and you can imagine this single being played out on a series
of improbable highland instruments as much as you can hear it as a sequence of
electronically produced noises. And they do say, the sign of a good song is
whether you can play it on the bagpipes or not.
