Scottish trio Fatherson are on the cusp of releasing their sophomore album Open Book, following the critically acclaimed debut I Am An Island released in 2014. The new record will be available on 3rd June 2016, celebrated with a short tour of the Highlands and album launches in both London and Glasgow. Just Past The Point Of Breaking opens the album with monumental energy, describing how missed opportunities might not be as bad as you first assume. Fatherson demonstrate their ability to write compelling lyrics and emotive melodies from the very first track, inviting you in with heartfelt understanding and honesty. You ll feel like they re your best friends before the end of the second verse.

Always stands strong on the foundations that I Am An Island built; offering big sounds in vocals and instrument alike. The single has been played constantly on BBC Radio 1, to the praise of Huw Stephens and Clara Amfo, bringing howling vocals and crashing drums to the forefront of british radio. In contrast, Lost Little Boys begins softly, echoing through your body before building up into something entirely euphoric. The words we re just lost little boys / making a name for ourselves highlights the anxieties of a band giving it their all to get noticed, to be heard above all the noise. Luckily, the gang vocals and marching band drums are loud enough to smother anything within a 100 mile radius and if the crowd sing along (which they surely will) the volume will be ten-fold.

Wondrous Heart offers a sweet change of pace, relaying tales of doubt and finding reassurance in each other, asking with sincerity: Do you have the guts to tell me that everything I ever did was wrong? The song shows that, maybe, if you lose faith in yourself there will always be someone else who believes in you, who will tell you honestly when you ve fallen astray.

Joanna and Younger Days slow things down once more and offer a moment of reflection in the chaos; stripping things down to showcase Ross Leighton s voice in a whole new light. This vulnerability makes Fatherson so compelling; Joanna , in particular, shares the anguish and lingering affection often felt at the end of a relationship with its simple ballad.
