Occasional Flickers - Sleep and the Time In Between (CD)

Release Date: 10/27/17

Distinctly Scottish indiepop with grand tendencies / RIYL: Belle & Sebastian, the Orchids

Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, the Occasional Flickers have been around for over a decade and this is their third album to date, after full length releases on Plastilina and Linger On Records (as well as a 7' on Cloudberry). Their sound is almost distinctly Scottish (even though band leader/songwriter Giorgos Bouras is originally from Athens, Greece), in the style of the Orchids and Belle & Sebastian. Though the songs are predominately light and breezy jangly pop, they also display some grand tendencies (see the epic 'Most Of The Time' as a prime example). Overall, this is a well-thought out album and well worth the wait!
