Seán R. McLaughlin & The Wind-Up Crows | Dragon Soop Artist of the Week in Scotland On Sunday, 31 March 2024


Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. Read on Scotsman.com 

Hailing from the tiny Island of Bressay in the Shetland Islands, Seán R. McLaughlin The Wind-Up Crows released their fantastically jubilant single Wishing Well via Stitch Records on Friday. The song is a folk-tinged masterpiece, and features Seán’s cousin, UTR favourite and Glastonbury Emerging Talent winner, Lewis McLaughlin as well as his band Vicky Gray, Stephen Thom, Sandy Batchelor, Fraser Walpole and Roberto Cassani.

 Taken from his forthcoming debut album Goodnight, Lad (out 3 May) it was co-produced by McLaughlin, Frightened Rabbit’s Andy Monaghan (who is also a cousin), and Jeremy Backofen (The Felice Brothers). Artists such as Joe Montague, Alex Johnson, and J. J. Jamieson also contributed to the record.

It’s no surprise Seán R. McLaughlin & The Wind-Up Crows have already been championed by US / Canadian publication EARMILK, enjoyed airplay on Tom Robinson’s BBC Radio 6 Music Introducing Mixtape as well as support from the RAPAL team via BBC Radio nan Gàidheal and Iain Anderson on Radio Scotland.
