Prehistoric Friends, Scotland On Sunday, 20 September 2015
Published in Scotland On Sunday, Spectrum Magazine: Sunday 20 September 2015 | Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss 
Prehistoric Friends is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Liam Chapman who performs in several excellent bands, including Supermoon, Miaoux Miaoux and Friends In America.On record, Chapman is joined by Nichola Kerr of Glasgow Chamber Orchestra, who contributes sublime string arrangements. Live, the band becomes a super-group quintet, featuring Julian Corrie of Miaoux Miaoux plus Joe Rattray and Louis Abbot of Admiral Fallow.Chapman’s dreamy vocals, Kerr’s viola strings, organs and drum machines combine to create gentle, atmospheric indie-pop soundscapes that wouldn’t be out of place on a film soundtrack. Prehistoric Friends release their self-titled debut album at a launch event at The Hug and Pint in Glasgow on 23 October with support from eagleowl. In a nice modern/ancient twist, 50 handmade fossil casts encasing the LP download code and an accompanying booklet are available. Listen at https://soundcloud.com/prehistoric-friends Olaf Furniss and Derick Mackinnon run the Born To Be Wide music industry seminar evening. Their next event takes place on Thursday 1 October and features an interview with Neu! Reekie! founder Kevin Williamson, followed by a discussion about creating and sustaining a scene.
