Snows of Yesteryear could only hail from Scotland with their mesmerising future-resisting take on orchestral indie-folk, which resounds in their debut single, Wait by the Shore. Classic, but still a million miles from archaic, Wait by the Shore is an achingly artful dark exposition of generational grief that proves the up-and-coming indie folk outfit is inseparable from their sonic and hometown roots.

‘Counting Stars’ has a beautifully layered effect enhancing the softness of the song. The combination of David Mitchell’s guitars, Kevin McGuire’s bass, Yuuka Yamada-Garner’s violin and Mattie Foulds’ drums toss you into a sonic whirlpool twirling about in hazy bliss. The inclusion of the string section has Snows of Yesteryear finding the balance between classical and contemporary music.
