The Not So Reverend - My Latest Novel
My Latest Novel is a Scottish band that's beginning to receive favorable attention and comparisons to The Arcade Fire and countrymen Belle & Sebastian (though to these ears are less ornate than the former and less precious than the latter). Bleak optimism or melancholic cheer--something oxymoronic like that--is the prevailing mood, which you'll hear in abundance in the band's latest single, "The Not So Reverend." This boy-girl duet, buttressed by lonely violin, discreet percussion and a short bout of whistling, also seems typical of My Latest Novel's no-frills approach to orchestral pop.
The band's ten-track debut LP, Wolves, is available through its UK label Bella Union.

Ah, nice spot on this one... good stuff and not surprised they are on the excellent Bella Union label.
Thanks,
Merz
I haven't heard their record, but a live recording I caught sounded nice. Good pick.
