Pressing Specifications
Who Is Snowgoose?
Snowgoose is built around the core partnership of Jim McCulloch, a guitarist known for his work with The Soup Dragons and BMX Bandits, and Somerset-born vocalist Anna Sheard, whose voice has drawn frequent comparisons to Fairport Convention's Sandy Denny. Since forming, the pair have built a reputation within Glasgow's indie scene for their rich blend of folk, psych and pop influences, drawing collaborators from across Scotland's most celebrated bands.
About Descendant
Recorded live in the studio by Paul Savage at Chem 19 in Glasgow, Descendant gathers a striking cast of contributors, including Raymond McGinley of Teenage Fanclub on guitar, Chris Geddes of Belle and Sebastian on keyboards, Stevie Jones of Arab Strap on bass, Tim Davidson of Tracyanne & Danny on pedal steel, and drummers Stuart Kidd of BMX Bandits and Adam Stearns of Trembling Bells. Across eleven tracks, the album explores themes of love and the impermanence of both, moving between Nashville-tinged country, orchestral pop and 1970s Laurel Canyon folk-rock, with Pentangle-style jazz-folk touches most audible on the title track.
