Lein Sangster
​

 

Lein Sangster is a singer/songwriter  their songs are beautifully crafted pop laments elegantly and simply constructed , woven with heartfelt passion that are both melancholic and celebratory .

Sangster previously recorded as Bad Anorak 404, the acclaimed second album in 2006 LP All In Miniature is jam-packed with gorgeous jazz/folk ballads and blues numbers mixing Brill Building classic compositions with odd pop DIY experimentation. At times Bad Anorak 404 came across like Keyboard Money Mark backing Terry Callier or Julie London singing the Broadcast songbook. Uncut described it as ‘an intrepid, boundlessly rewarding delight’

 Dipping in the past of their music career its worth mentioning that Sangster fronted a  group called  Kit an out queer band in the homophobic late 80s, they recorded 4 singles and an album Unshakeable Faith. Liz Naylor writer / NME music journalist at that time said of them ‘Kit make a tough, emotionally indefinable music that carried a lineage from Fred Neil, Laura Nyro and Patti Smith reimagined as the Go-Betweens from Liverpool one of the great underground outfits of the late 1980s ' A compilation was released in November 2024 called Picture Postcards Dreams Unsungs songs .
Sangster also writes for screen and has wrote soundtracks for an impressive number of documentary and  indie film features and continues to do this along side writing songs.  At some point in the future a third Bad Anorak album will be released on the Chemin de Fer label
