Livingston duo Gravelle comprising Monique Maurel and Kyle MacNaughton-Wright, stamped their arrival on the Scottish music with the release of Liquid Skin, late last year. The meaty EP was an impressive debut, drawing on eighties synth sounds, punchy beats, a splash of techno and an unashamed goth aesthetic.Unsurprisingly they have shared stages with other exponents of the dark arts, including former UTR acts including Damned Dirty Duke, The Ninth Wave and Franky’s Evil Party. These ties have been further cemented with MacNaughton moonlighting for the latter, while The Ninth Wave’s Lewis Tollan enlisted on production duties (along with Idlewild’s Rod Jones). Gravelle (which they pronounce gravel) take to the road next week to promote their new single Shedding Skin, with dates in Edinburgh (22 November), Aberdeen (23 November), the Glasgow’s Dam All Dayer (7 December) and then back to the capital for a show at Sneaky Pete’s (8 December).
