Read Description:

Scottish singer-songwriter armed with guitar, soaring vocals and a big heart full of melodies.

Every once in a while we hear a cd by an up-coming singer-songwriter that stops us in our tracks before we pick up the phone to get them signed to Woodwork! Moray McLaren is an accomplished Scottish musician with a canny ear for catchy songs with accessible lyrics that sound anything but throwaway. His rough recordings fell into the hands of engineer/ producer Jonathan Shakhovskoy (Patrick Wolf, U2) who suggested they make this EP which is his first release and pre-empts his forthcoming album on Lash Records. Off the back of the EP, Moray has also been asked to collaborate on a major motion picture soundtrack.

"You Make Me Feel Like a Star" has the lyrical content to make any advert work! With melting chords and a wonderfully relaxed pace it will float you up to the heavens for a magical stellar encounter. "We Got Time" sounds like Doves at their elemental best, an incessant builder with throbbing drums, a powerful call-to-arms for any relationship needing a leap of faith. It has had tons of airplay on Radio 2 from Johnnie Walker, Dermot O' Leary and The Breakfast Show whilst still managing to maintain high levels credibility. Check out the hypotic, poignant video below that has been featured in Boards by Blinkink's David Wilson.
