Do Yourself a Favour

The forgotten dream of egalitarian clubbing. Bloated club nights, money men making £'s from people's misery (Guido Fawkes). Best of British F'off.  We are all ex-ravers now.

Moon Landings

Teeming

Rich synths and driving complex beats carry along melodic bass and dreamy, strange vocals combining natural and artificial voices in harmony.
The lyrics are about a simultaneously ecstatic, comforting and relieving feeling that people can find inside themselves in the right circumstances. For some this is when falling asleep, when with a loved one, when in meditation, or when listening to music!

Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet Home (Radio Edit)

Following the release of her debut single After River, Scottish singer-songwriter Megan Airlie makes a welcome return through her alluring follow up single Honey, available to stream and download now via Bloc Music Records.

Showcasing her charming jazz/blues vocals, Honey accentuates Megan's breathtaking natural talent as well as her ability to transmit intense, personal vignettes through her music.

Measured, laid back guitar segments are accented beautifully by the shimmering rich texture of Megan's chanteuse style vocal, neatly brought together by the gorgeous tone of twinkling piano.
Having already picked up support from the likes of The Line of Best Fit, BBC Radio Scotland, Hoxton Radio, Podcart and Songwriting Magazine, Megan will be looking to build upon this early success while enhancing her burgeoning reputation throughout the UK
and beyond.

Honey is out now.
