From their Bandcamp page:-
“Glasgow sextet James Edwyn & the Borrowed Band stumbled on to the scene 2013, their formation the result of a series of unlikely coincidences… Their music is a mixmof alt-country, indie/folk rock and roots orientated Americana.
They have released two critically acclaimed albums, THE TOWER (2014) and HIGH Fences (2018). They are currently working on a third studio album.
The above info is out off date as the third album, Highlights of The Low Nights, was released on Last Night From Glasgow back in 2022.
mp3: James Edwyn & the Borrowed Band – Gasoline
Americana is a tad out of my comfort zone, so let me turn to a more informed source, a Glasgow-based blog called Blabber ‘n’ Smoke which specialises in the subject matter and had this to say about the track I’ve offered up today:-
‘There’s a lot of Memphis swampiness flowing throughout the album, primarily via the keyboards. Gasoline, riding on top of a fine guitar groove and funky electric piano, opens the album in a stealth like manner, the tension gradually building as the song progresses, albeit with the band initially sounding as if they are riding on the slipstream of The Doors, circa LA Woman. Edwyn’s voice is perfectly complemented by the harmonies from Emma Joyce‘
