Lo-fi rules.

Scottish trio Cast of the Capital are more indie than indie. The sound on this excellent three track demo is seriously lo-fi; gentle drums, strummed guitar and sweet little keyboard riffs. This is definitely the kind of band you can imagine teaming up with Scottish indie collective The Raindeer Section; they have the right kind of sound and the ability to turn out a decent tune.

The tunes may be simple but they are very effective; memorable and so sweet and poppy you want to ruffle their hair; 'Meeting Minds In Mountains' has a lovely warm feel, the relaxing and gentle melody sweeps over you like a fragrant summer breeze and 'You Used To Wear My Shirts' is brilliant, with a light keyboard melody and excellent lyrics, sad and touching and really down to earth.
