Boy with Compass

"Boy With Compass" are an Aberdeen outfit who bring a refreshing breath of air to the Scottish Music Scene.
A music-making collective consisting of Donald Thomas - vocals, guitars, harmonium, thumb piano; David Roy - guitar, harmonium, melodica, bass, percussion, vocals; Samuel Tranter - myriad percussion peculiarities, etc.; give or take two or three, or four.

Musically the band have an Acoustic led sound with additional instruments that fit in with layered sounds and at times the lightest of touches.
The EP "This Dear City" is easy to listen to without being "Easy listening".
The vocals often sit higher in the mix and have nods to indie bands such as "Athlete".
The EP seems to develop in the number of layered sounds and ends with the crescendo of "How many roads" with the searing guitars and drums taking the EP into the final road home.
It is well worth adding this EP to your collection.
