TOMORROW WE SAIL
[http://www.tomorrowwesail.co.uk/]
Tomorrow We Sail is a group of seven musicians, based in Leeds, UK. Formed in 2009 they have spent the past four years developing their sound into what is now a vast landscape of billowing, reverb-soaked guitars, orchestral strings, piano, organ and multi-layered vocals.

Folk, slowcore, neo-classicism, minimalism, ambience, and post-rock are all apparent in the vast and winding soundscapes Tomorrow We Sail create. The music is slow-burning, creeping quietly into consciousness, the sonic terrain covered ensures the listener is held through a constantly moving orchestrated cavern of sound, with earnest melodies and harmonies drifting and falling all around.

LIONHALL
[https://soundcloud.com/lionhall]
Newcastle-via-Scotland two-piece Lionhall haven't been recording together for very long, but in that time they have already made an impressive number of people sit up and take notice of their sparse, chilly melodic music. Their songs have drawn comparisons to The XX and Conquering Animal Sound, with the likes of Drowned in Sound and Amazing Radio picking up on the two self-released tracks they posted on Bandcamp in August, the former describing the band as 'a very impressive prospect'. Live, the band are a rawer, more urgent proposition, with the Kills-like interplay between Sean and Ana a key feature.

TALKINGMAKESNOSENSE
[http://www.talkingmakesnosense.com/]
Talkingmakesnosense is Scotland's Dominic Dixon, a guitarist who mixes acoustic and electronic instruments with tape and computer-generated sounds. He has previously released on the now sadly defunct Benbecula Records and on the Rural Colours hybrid net label. Most recently he has provided original music for the award winning multimedia theatre show Whatever Gets You Through The Night and scored the short film Your Picture Gets Mine, which featured on C4's The Shooting Gallery.
