Galileo's Fan - I Won't Be Found (2019)

Siblings Fi and Martin Vass are Galileo's Fan. The Scottish duo fashions textured, broad scale folk rock/alt pop featuring bold arrangements and soaring vocals. Their just-released LP, I Won't Be Found, is packed with well-crafted ballads and anthems that seem carved out of the mountains and mists of the Scottish Highlands. Their sound has, quite understandably, been compared to Iceland's Of Monsters and Men, but to our ears Galileo's Fan relies less on drama and more on the heart. It is a fine album at any time, but we particularly like listening to it outdoors on walks.
