Fortunately, a quiet revolution appears to be taking place in the Kingdom, spearheaded by Dunfirmline’s excellent Outwith Festival and the likes of local heroes Domiciles. Self-identifying as psychedelic, their album This Is Not A Zen Garden (Last Night From Glasgow Records) was self-produced in a Highland cottage and in a previous era would have sat comfortably alongside Creation Records’ early shoegaze signings. However, Domiciles also bring a darker, edgier dimension to the genre, occasionally adding a tinge of Krautrock and even Velvet Underground. A documentary of their Highland adventure is due out soon and a tour is being lined up for November. In the meantime, we recommend getting along to Outwith Festival on 7 September to see them on their home turf along with a host of other great acts.
