Published in Scotland On Sunday, 18 November 2018 | Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. See Scotsman.com in association with AIM (Association of Independent Music) OK BUTTON Artist of the Week in Scotland On SundayIt’s a sign of how long ago it was since we first wrote about Amber Wilson, that we were referring readers to her Myspace. At the time she was an acoustic singer songwriter but shortly afterwards ended up being drafted in to sing for Morcheeba. Fast forward a decade and she is back as part of OK Button, teaming up with former Babyshambles drummer Adam Falkner, multi-instrumentalist Nass and writer/producer Craigie Dodds (Amy Winehouse, Gorillaz, Sugababes). The result is a contemporary synth/pop sound with indisputable international appeal, reminiscent of several Scandinavian acts currently making a global impact.Earlier this year OK Button released the excellent track Messages as well as a fine tribute to Leonard Cohen, Chelsea Hotel #1. This month the single Beds followed as a prelude to the band stepping up their live activity. Check them out at Glasgow’s Poetry Club on 20 November - for lovers of quality pop this has to be a pressing engagement. www.okbuttonmusic.com Olaf Furniss and Derick Mackinnon run the Born To Be Wide music seminar and social nights.
