About Me

"Filtro is one Scot residing in Spain, and who’s taken on the sunny sounds of the Beach Boys and Byrds, but the heat is Mediterranean and a little more sweaty - the songs have an excitement about them, like he’s playing them for the first time.Though there’s elements of REM in here, there’s also ‘Good Conversation’, a jangly slice of melodic pop. ‘Football Focus’ is another hooky one, boasting rather nice Trashcans-style harmonies.""isthismusic" magazine
