Neon Waltz playing live at the Bristol Thekla (Jessica Bartolini for Live4ever)
Neon Waltz will tour the UK after the release of their debut album Strange Hymns, ending with a flurry of dates in their native Scotland.
Gigs in Sheffield, Leicester, Cardiff, Bristol, London, Milton Keynes and Hull precede their return home, when two nights in Aberdeen round things off on September 9th and 10th.
In Live4ever’s soon-to-be-published review, we’ll be reflecting on the timescale taken to deliver their debut album:
“Not just happy to be taking part then, the six-some unashamedly wear some obvious older influences, cousins possibly of The Twilight Sad (without the angst), or even Mull Historical Society (without the whimsy), seemingly unaffected by the stage fright many people who dare to pick up a guitar these days are prone to.”
“Is there something archaic here? More timeless probably, the reel of closer Veiled Clock the sort of hyper extended folk which takes its cue from a familiar blend of archive 20th century tropes, echoes from an imaginary Highlands rust belt.”
