Those of you who follow this series closely should be able to recall the backstory to David Cameron’s Eton Mess.

It dates back to October 2015, and is a compilation released by now defunct Edinburgh-based label, Song, By Toad Records. The premise was that it would be ‘a collection of the very finest lo-fi, slacker, outsider pop tunes Scotland has to offer.’

Very few of the acts would ever do much beyond being featured on the compilation, and information on many of them is hard to come by. The alphabetical run-down of Scottish bands on the hard drive has reached one such act:-

mp3: Andrew R Burns & The Tropicanas – Delaydeez

A cursory on-line search reveals that the band do have a presence on Spotify, but as I’m not a subscriber or user of that service, I’m afraid I can’t offer any more info.

Delaydeez is one of the more commercial and accessible tracks on the compilation, so if you find yourself enjoying it, and you have a Spotify account, you could head over and do your small bit.
