Aberfeldy

Edinburgh indie-chamber pop quintet Aberfeldy, named after a small Scottish holiday town set deep within the heart of the Perthshire Highlands, utilize a blend of soft percussion, shimmering acoustic guitars, and boy-girl harmonies to create dreamy soundscapes for songwriter Riley Briggs' simple and honest lyrics. Along with Briggs, the group consists of Ian Stoddart, Ruth Barrie, Sarah McFadyen, and Ken McIntosh. They released their debut, Young Forever, in 2004 on Rough Trade in the States and Sanctuary in the U.K. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
