| | Description: | Snowgoose are proud to present their new album, The Making Of You, on Ba Da Bing Records. The follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut, Harmony Springs, this record sees the songwriting duo of guitarist Jim McCulloch and singer Anna Sheard supported by a who's who of Scottish pop music, including members of Belle And Sebastian and Teenage Fanclub. Tracing a line through '60s West Coast psychedelia and early '70s folk-rock, Snowgoose creates something timeless and unique, which transcends it's influences to assert itself as modern and forward thinking.This album represents a new chapter in the Snowgoose story. While their 2012 debut was largely written by former Soup Dragons guitarist Jim McCulloch, the new songs see Sheard step forward as a lyricist and melodist. The result of this collaboration is a record of rare beauty and momentary intimacy, resulting in utter exuberance. McCulloch says, "When we made the first album, I brought the bulk of the material to the party, written and ready to go. This time round, we decided to write together and it soon became clear that not only is Anna a peerless singer, she is also a wonderful lyricist." Sheard adds, "During the writing process, I was-as usual-listening to a swirling melting pot of artists, from Spanky And Our Gang, through Fleetwood Mac, to France Gall and Jobim."Novelist Ian Rankin, who declared Snowgoose's debut one of the best albums of 2012, says, "I was a huge fan of the first Snowgoose album and I'm equally excited by the follow-up. Such warmth and emotion, with great performances by the musicians and singer Anna Sheard. Fairport Convention, Incredible String Band, Pentangle and more come to mind, but Snowgoose add lyricism and delicacy of their own."Del Amitri frontman Justin Currie adds, "Jim McCulloch and Anna Sheard, with their troupe of Scottish alternative pop royalty, have made the kind of record that saved the easy listening genre in the early seventies. Think Sandy Denny crashing into a Jimmy Webb session armed with delicate west coast melodies and a little bag of very modern anxiety.""Making Of You" is the captivating LP by Scottish folk-rock band Snowgoose, released under the respected label BADA. This album showcases Snowgoose's signature blend of melodic folk and evocative storytelling, featuring lush harmonies and intricate acoustic arrangements. The band's sound draws inspiration from classic British folk while infusing a contemporary edge that appeals to both traditionalists and new listeners alike. Notably, Snowgoose has garnered critical acclaim for their debut album "Harmony Springs," which established them as a standout act in modern folk music circles. With "Making Of You," they continue to build on this legacy with heartfelt songwriting and masterful musicianship.
