Release Notes:
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.
