Aberfeldy - Hypnotised

If you've not yet heard Aberfeldy's debut Young Forever I would strongly advise seeking it out alongside this new single, as this is the perfect time of year to enjoy its sparkling pop music. That record showed the quintet to be tunesmiths with an appealingly quirky edge, light in touch but not in weight. Enough, though, for them to catch the eye of James Blunt's promoter, as the Scots will be supporting him on several dates of his forthcoming European tour.

Hypnotised is recognisably theirs, brightly lit, uplifting and with bursts of joyous harmony from Sarah McFadyen. The occasional electronic squiggle dresses a pretty song, the production noticeably more polished and with more weight than the debut album, but still leaving plenty of room between vocals and instruments.

No sign of imminent second album syndrome from this most appealing quintet - summer pop doesn't usually come out the can this fresh.
