English indie/folk band with some nice sounds on this debut. That leadoff track really hooked me and there was nothing on here I thought was bad. Compared to Mumford & Sons and this could very well go in folk also. Named after a Scottish island town which none hail from. Guess they like the name. Some critical acclaim in the homeland, headlining the BBC Introducing stage back in 2009. I think this album would really grow on me with some play. Maybe I'll get it someday and give it that. Some really nice live clips here.
