For years a fictional, ahem, conceptual record label, life was finally breathed into Mister Tramp Records in September 2006. Mister Tramp aims to promote the best of the exceptional local talent in Glasgow.
Evan Crichton released his debut album “ Bright Our Broken Days†on Mister Tramp Records in November 2006.
Evan cut his teeth playing with John Peel favourites Pariah and The Sky at Night and then began playing solo in 2006 as part of Scotland’s acclaimed Wendy House collective. Evan is often joined on stage by Chris Connick (De Rosa) and Andrew Bush (The Sky at Night).
"Amid the frenzy of riffs and haircuts that is the Glasgow 'scene', Evan Crichton is an Oasis of calm. His simple songs range from melancholy to joyful and he's emerging as a real leading light" - John Clarke - The Fly
“Evan Crichton may be in the top 50 most eligible men in Scotland according to The Scotsman newspaper, but more importantly his debut ep ‘Bright our Broken Days’ finds his sparkling vocal and song writing skills coming to the fore. Opener ‘Cracks’ sets the tone with downbeat backing but soaring delivery and tale of hope, and throughout the record this mood and vein carries on. ‘Shine For Me Hal’ has a woozy church organ intro and there’s a lot of different instruments peppering this album, however, they all pale compared to Evan’s voice. 4/5†– Andy Reilly – is this music?
"Bright Our Broken Days" is available to buy from Avalanche, Mono, Fopp and online through www.myspace.com/evancrichton.
