**** After a five year hiatus, these Edinburgh gentle indie rockers return with a second album, following their well-received début, Vagrant Song. As the Crow Flies features guests Poppy Ackroyd (Hidden Orchestra and Aberfeldy) and Ali Petrie (Hobotalk) who also co-produces the album. Frontman Pete Deane accomplishes lovely songwriting; his velvet vocals and touching lyrics make for a very graceful listen. His Peter Gabriel-esque voice echoes throughout stand-out tracks such as ‘Sing’, ‘Precious Time’ and ‘Ventolin’; not bad for an album that was started because Deane had to write new music for his degree. - The List

Bio
Currently resting their heads in Edinburgh, the band consists of Pete Deane, Dave Bishop, Calum MacLeod, Jos Collins and Rich Beeby. September 2011 saw the release of their second album As The Crow Flies which also features Poppy Ackroyd of Hidden Orchestra and Aberfeldy, along with production skills of Ali Petrie (Hobotalk).
