It has been 4 years since this Scottish band last released a record which is probably about 3 ½ too long. That may be about to change though as there is whispers of a 3rd LP in the works, needless to say we’re counting down the days. There is something about My Latest Novel’s sound that is so perfectly set to forlorn yet at the same time it so often embraces moments of pure elation. Could be construed as maudlin but my take is that it comes from having a Celtic heritage. Whatever the source My Latest Novel are capable of windswept greatness, as exemplified by the traditional air that so embellishes the backend of ‘Sister Sneaker Sister Soul’. As epic as anything from the Frames ‘For The Birds’ there is a sense of longing that doesn’t necessarily lend itself to attaining a sense of belonging. Sometimes heartbreak can be the most comforting sound of all. KD
