Long Fin Killie were a Scottish band who fused a post-rock sound of the same ilk as Ganger, Tortoise and Laika with the narrative genius of songwriter Luke Sutherland who has since contributed to a number of Mogwai records.
'A Man Ray' rides on an immense raft of dubby bass with gentle cymbal percussion. Damped guitar harmonics form the melodic framework for the gently intoned vocals to sit amongst with just an occasional drift of sodium-light trumpet adding a little smear of extra colour.
It's a warm and enticing soundscape and the low-key vocal style - it's like someone talking quietly in your ear at a gig - draws you in to the lyric.
