.. About This Release .......................................
: :
: Repressed domestically on Darla and thus at a super :
: nice price! Scott Twynholm is a twenty-something :
: Scotsman who besides writing and recording as :
: METROVAVAN (www.metrovavan.co.uk) is a member of :
: LOOPER. With a French flavor stemming from two years :
: spent living in Paris - amongst the keyboards and hip- :
: hop break beats - Retrofitting marks the emergence of :
: one of Scotland's freshest new talents. Since the first :
: tender steps of Scott Twynholm's debut single 'The Lost :
: Notes' on Liquefaction Empire earlier this year, the :
: body - poppin' Glaswegian has truly come of age with :
: this collection of electronica, funk, hip-hop and :
: Americana tinged songs. The comparisons between Scott's :
: other band LOOPER (from whom he intends to take a step :
: back from for a while whilst he continues full-time as :
: Metrovavan) were in evidence at first but now, after a :
: summer spent twiddling knobs, pushing buttons and :
: strumming his guitar oh so dreamily, he has created a :
: work that is unique yet strangely familiar such :
: comparisons are few and far between. Listen to tracks :
: such as 'Keep Breathing' where there's much more of :
: 'Money Mark's Keyboard Repair' than anything post B&S :
: whilst on the tearjerker 'Behind the Last Star' :
: definite traces of Scott's more morose Scottish :
: contemporaries can be found hiding amongst the beauty :
: of those tender guitars. The sublime 'Because of the :
: Sun' is in a different era all together, harking back :
: to the early Eighties when kids would take out their :
: mum's spare lino and windmill to the sounds of Nucleus :
: and Hashim. 'I'm Glad I'm Not A Spaceman' on the other :
: hand is simply one of the most beautiful songs to have :
: emerged from 2000. The brilliance of Retrofitting lies :
: in the fact that it encapsulates a vast array of :
: genres: 'The Lost Notes' had many reviewers scratching :
: their heads for descriptions of the Metrovavan sound :
: and some found the only way to aptly pin the music down :
: was to throw in a whole host of possible influences and :
: contemporaries. Metrovavan is indeed hard to pin down :
: so let's not bother trying any longer...sit back and :
: enjoy the sound of the future through rose tinted :
: spectacles. :
