The Reindeer Section

[sami0201]

Has anyone ever heard them? I heard the song "You Are My Joy" on a tv show and I thought it was Snow Patrol, then I found out about this group. The song I heard was Gary from Snow Patrol on vocals and it said that the group is a bunch of Scottish (I think?) musicians. I'm wondering if I should pick up an album, and if so, which one?

Get Son of Evil Reindeer. Gorgeous record, no duds imo.

Weren't a few members of Idlewild involved in this? They were on a list of artists I wanted to check out years ago, but I seemed to have forgotten about them.

What kind of music would you describe them as? What artists make similar sounds? I believe I remember seeing them related to Belle and Sebastian in sound, is that accurate?

Yeah it's a side project thingy, sorta Scottish indie music supergroup. Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody is the main man, I believe.

'Cartwheels' is a lovely song.

Aidan Moffat from Arab Strap also takes a turn on lead vocals. It's mostly a toned down, somber record with a few upbeat tunes like previously mentioned Cartwheels and You are My Joy.

The only song I've heard is You Are My Joy It sounded Snow Patrol-ish to me, but I haven't heard anything else.
