The bleak side of traditional Scottish music.

We Say...
If there's one thing you can hang your coat on, it's that Martin Swan will never do the same thing twice. Another is that whatever he does, it'll be fascinating. When Swan formed Mouth Music in 1990 (the name refers to an old Celtic style using vocals as a rhythmic instrument) with Talitha MacKenzie, blending Scots Gaelic song and African rhythms, it was a hauntingly compelling precursor to the world music boom. Subsequent offerings were sparing and radically different as the line-ups shifted to include Jackie Joyce, Mairi McInnes and Ishbel McCaskill, each helping to take the music in sharply contrasting directions. And whether it dipped into dance music or pop, it always pushed the envelope. With sterling support from multi-instrumentalist Martin Furey, Swan buried himself in fiddle music for his most extreme statement on The Scrape, an album of startling bleakness and deep emotions; dark and challenging, it wields a terrible beauty.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
