Meursault
The versatilite Edinburgh act, whether stripped down and folky or a howling, electro-whirlwind Meursault, are an enigmatic but compelling live act whose debut release is one of the must-hear releases of 2009.
Featuring members of Down the Tiny Steps and the Consultants, the good Inspectors fuse older folk and blues guitar styles and melodies with modern party rhythms, mucky synth licks and an uplifting pop sensibility..
Juddering drum beats made from coins falling on the ground, layers of electronic whistles, bells and synths, the former Boyfriend/Girlfriend member now makes sounds inspiringly original and too unapologetically fecked-up to be dismissed - one of Edinburgh's most intriguing new musicians.
