Clocking in with one hundred and eighty seconds of reflective guitar pop, Love Is An Arrow is a pure slice of unadulterated choral perfection. Simple, luxurious melodies and delicately stacked tiers of instrumentation build the song around that oft-overlooked musical device: the fiddle solo. Cue the sound of breaking hearts and the sight of turning heads – their last single Heliopolis won the heart of the NME and Guardian Guide and with it their ‘single of the week’ plaudits. The lead track is backed by two brand new B sides Your Own Trailer and Tom Weir, the latter being a homage to the iconic 80s Scottish TV presenter. Also look out for an ace animated video by the award-winning director Chris Waitt (the man behind BBC’s Monkey Dust). Fresh from keeping the home fires burning with a headline sell-out mini-tour of Scotland in early December, the band saw the New Year in with the unlikeliest of company. Aberfeldy were joined in their home town by international superstars Scissor Sisters and Blondie at the Edinburgh Hogmany spectacular concert.
