A working class boy - and self-proclaimed trespasser - meanders through an exquisite garden filled with mellotron ambience, 12-string melodies and lush harmonies through Leslie speakers.

Half & Half

Gouching on the 33 - an inner city lullaby penned following a sobering encounter in which singer, Scott Rough bore witness to his sister in a drug-induced sedation on a bus bound for Wester Hailes (where the siblings grew up). 

Reminiscent of doo-wop hits of the 1950s, “Gouching on the 33” features lush backing vocals, accompanying the tender lead vocal, all bathed in the glorious warmth of the analogue tape they were recorded on. Dreamy, meandering lap steel guitar underscores the track, conjuring an image of the helplessness of this particular passenger’s journey through the city.

The climactic final stages of the song illuminate the estrangement felt by Rough. While aware of the service route, his sister’s destination is sadly not so clear.

Babestation - the third single from the upcoming debut album “Heart-Shaped Jacuzzi” by Logan’s Close - places the listener in the alluring shoes of a late-night adult chat TV star, painting a vivid picture of a typical night on the screen. Textured with soft Fender Rhodes inversions, velvety Hammond lines, glossy vocals and underpinned by a sensual groove from the rhythm section, Logan’s Close invites you to call in for a private session.

Heart-Shaped Jacuzzi is the upcoming first single from the debut album of the same name, by Edinburgh sweethearts, Logan’s Close. Backing from Creative Scotland and fans made the album a reality which was recorded to tape in Hamburg, Germany at Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Studios in 2022.

Underscored by organ lead lines Ray Manzarek would be proud of, Heart-Shaped Jacuzzi highlights the feelings of surfeit felt in a long relationship. In 3-part harmony, willpower is advocated throughout the lyrics of this new retro pop banger.

Pull up a beanbag and cut a rug. Logan's Close is coming to town. With their debut album, Heart-Shaped Jacuzzi, imminent, the Edinburgh based band, headed by Scott Rough and Carl Marah, are preparing to showcase the record’s shimmering collection of instant classics in the grooviest underground emporiums around.

Originally comin’ straight outta Dunbar - arguably Scotland’s lesser known rock and roll capital - Rough and Marah formed Logan’s Close in order to fuse their love of Merseybeat, British invasion baroque bubblegum and laidback Los Angeles soft psych with a more Now sounding approach to songwriting. Having drafted in Stuart Neil on bass, Sean Morrison on keys, and Gavin Lamont on drums, the fruits of the dynamic duo’s union can be heard across a spate of singles released over the last eight years.

This included a sold out spectacle at The Caves in Edinburgh in May 2023, where, like its cavernous forebear, even the walls were sweating once Logan’s Close started ripping it up. The band showcased recent singles, Heart-Shaped Jacuzzi, Dans Le Jardin and Babestation, Gouching On The 33 and Hot Blondes In Your Area Tonight, all of which appear on "Heart-Shaped Jacuzzi", a ‘60s tinged collection that moves from basement bar bravura to tripped out Happening, without taking an entire decade to get there.

"Heart-Shaped Jacuzzi" was recorded in Hamburg, once upon a time the red light district breeding ground for British beat groups’ sometimes dubious rites of passage, and now playing host to a new generation of young men who should know better.


If the ‘90s were just the ‘60s turned upside down, Logan’s Close are the Century 21 sons and heirs to both.

"The sexiest band in Scotland" – Vic Galloway, BBC Radio Scotland

"This is a superb outfit who deserve great things to happen in the future" – Edinburgh Evening News

“They have a seemingly endless energy on stage; which is coupled with clever harmonies and really groovy tunes. It would be verd indeed, not to like what they do. Utterly infectious.” – The Write Angle

Combining eclectic influences from music of the 1960s with forward-thinking ideas and approaches to songwriting, they create a saucy wee mixture of tuneage.

LC have appeared twice on Scottish national television, had multiple singles selected as BBC Radio Scotland's 'Single of The Week', completed a sold-out European tour in 2019, and in 2020 released their single ‘Lost In You’ to critical acclaim.

2022 has seen the band complete a mini UK tour, as well as having successfully recorded their debut album "Heart-Shaped Jacuzzi" in Hamburg. The band are now organising the album campaign and will set a release date in the near future. OOFT.
