About Me

Coming Soon: Liechtenstein 10"/CD, Champagne Socialists 7", The Pains of Being Pure At Heart 7"

Bricolage's debut album out now!

The symbiotic relationship between Glasgow and an indefinable, distinct breed of extraordinary pop is a subject of limitless fascination. From the early-’80s explosion that begat Orange Juice, Altered Images, The Pastels and many others, to latter-day heirs such as Teenage Fanclub, Belle & Sebastian and Franz Ferdinand, the city is as synonymous with the abstract notion of 'indie' as Detroit is with the Motown sound or New York with early punk.
Following on from a string of immaculate singles, Bricolage is the latest installment in Glasgow's rich pop history. Produced with sparkling economy by former Altered Images guitarist Stephen Lironi, its dozen tracks brilliantly combine swooning romanticism with all the melody, verve and wit the city is famous for. Bricolage have crafted a bold album packed with striking tunes and classic pop moments, bringing The Sound of Young Scotland bang up to date and squarely into the 21st century.
We think that this album is one of the most exciting, vital pop albums we've heard in ages and are dead pleased to be able to bring it to you. For more info and preview MP3s check out the album info page , and please note that the vinyl LP comes with a code for a free download. You asked, we delivered!
