Nation Shall Speak Unto Nation

Edwyn Collins

Analog-soaked Scottish soul and jangle pop. A warm, resilient collection of songs that balance sophisticated wit with a deeply human, weathered baritone.

It's like a warm wool sweater and a glass of scotch in musical form.

A resilient and soulful optimism that feels earned through experience and time.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the organ swells beneath the chorus of the title track, lending a secular gospel weight to the plea for connection.
The rhythmic shift in 'Rhythm Is My Own World' where the bassline takes over, anchoring the album with a defiant, soulful groove.
The intimate, dry vocal delivery on 'The Mountains Are My Home' that makes it feel like he is whispering directly into your ear.
