Sparrow and The Workshop - A Horse's Grin



Increasingly it seems Scotland's principal musically export is particularly dark folk music with a bit of a modern twist. The only other famous example off the top of my head os Sons and daughters, but I've seen a lot of it about at a lower level. Like Nick Cave was imprinted on a whole generation of Scottish musicians. Also might have something to do, that as you age, just making a racket is less appealing but you still want to keep a bit of edge, so you end up doing murder ballads. Anyway, this is a fine example, and there's a nice attention to detail and style as well, in the video.
