Lyric sheetFrom «Low Tide Radio»

Turn it up between the stations

where the static sounds like rain

somebody's reading out the names

of everyone who missed the train

We were ninety miles from nowhere

with the dashboard lit like a choir

and the low tide radio singing

keep the engine running, keep the fire

The second album: night drives, pirate radio and the long road home from Inverness.

Tracklist

Liner notes

The second album was written in the van on the A9, somewhere between Perth and Inverness, with the radio drifting in and out of range. Ama started recording the static between stations on her phone, and those recordings became the glue between the songs.

We made it in a farmhouse studio outside Inverness in the coldest February anyone could remember. The heating failed on day three, so the band played in coats and Callum taped hand warmers to his sticks. Frequency came out of a soundcheck jam that Tam secretly recorded.

The radio

The spoken bits are real: late-night dedications from a community station archive, used with the station's blessing. Ninety-Seven Point Two is named after it.

It is a record about driving home in the dark and the voices that keep you awake. It still opens most of our sets.
