New Sounds of Scotland

Episode 8 of 8

Music journalist Lauren Martin presents a guide to some of Scotland’s best new alternative music, with a particular focus on her home town, Glasgow.

As a coda to Rip It Up Unwrapped, music journalist Lauren Martin guides us through some of Scotland’s best new alternative music, with a particular focus on her home town - Glasgow.

Taking in everyone from afro-beat influenced indie kids Sacred Paws and experimental multi-instrumentalist Ela Orleans, to gothic synth pop band The Ninth Wave and cosmic performers Free Love, Lauren explores the rich variety of musical acts who have found a home in the city.

She runs through some of her favourite local acts, like Spinning Coin, LAPS, and Lanark Artefax as well as highlighting the key aspects of what makes a Glasgow such a great place for musicians to live and work today - from record shops like Monorail, to distribution hubs like Rubadub, who support many local record labels.

Also featuring music from C Duncan, Catholic Action, Walt Disco, Siobhan Wilson, Kathryn Joseph and Young Fathers and contributions from Vic Galloway, Stephen Pastel, Stuart Braithwaite, Alex Kapranos and Richard Chater of Rubadub.
