Album Notes & Community Reviews

A sweeping conceptual homage to their native Glasgow, 'Raintown' blends blue-eyed soul warmth with earnest, piano-driven rock. The polished production and lush vocal harmonies provided a sophisticated, highly melodic framework for Ricky Ross's cinematic narratives of working-class struggle and urban romance.
