Walk me through the park
and I’ll point out the shining signals from your past
Walk me to the door
Because I’ve drawn every constellation that I know
Walk me through this dark
For all I have are ancient fables I brought back
From holidays abroad
And things I think of when I’m restless or I’m bored

Here’s my tiny map of Earth
Please come this far but go no further
This experiment is over now

All that we know 
Are childhood stories and the things we learned by wrote
Galaxies unfold
As we hold fast to facts as children we are told

Here’s my tiny map of Earth
Please come this far but go no further
This experiment is over now

This much we agree
The world holds many things
But stars and such are out of reach
If only like copernicus
We could rearrange ourselves
And build a new universe

Our love is now 
A pulsar star beating discreetly in the dark
This much we have gleaned 
From popular science on
Prime time TV

Let us not be a black hole
Down which our life and light must pour
This experiment could be much more

Lianne La Havas - Forget (Shlohmo remix)

Letters were born amidst the ruins of desolate Scottish fishing towns and Edinburgh city centre bohemia in the winter of 2010. Their sound emerges from lack of vitamin D and poorly heated flats. Four strong, Mikey, Dougie, Kerr and Steven occupy their ranks.

Letters have been regularly played on 6 muic, Radio 1, XFM, Radio Scotland and Amazing Radio

Letters have played Rockness, Wickerman and Go North Festivals

"Windswept Scottish Melancholy...I love it" Steve Lamacq BBC 6 Music

"It's rare that such a new band sounds so close to the finished article...fans of acts such as Jimmy Eat World will find much to admire in the pedal-to-the-metal chorus, but there's still plenty of musical meat on the bones.” Scotsman Radar

"Great Songs. Brilliant Listening" - Scott Hutchison (Frightened Rabbit)

"...this particular renegade from the classical canon can add a distinctively mournful instrumental colour or a uniquely biting rhythmic drive to the typical indie set-up." Herald Scotsman

"Their tendency to leap on the distortion pedal as songs draw to an end, and my weakness for vocals sung in a Scottish accent, it makes for a winning formula...They could have a very bright future indeed." CMU
