Broken Chanter

In the last days of Winter 2018, David MacGregor (Kid Canaveral) isolated himself in spots around the Highlands and Islands, recording skeletal demos in Ardnamurchan and Skye before decamping with long-term pal/collaborator and engineer and producer Gal to a remote house on a peninsula jutting into the Atlantic from County Donegal.

A light-hearted raconteur and a heavy-hearted singer when accompanied by just a guitar, the first Broken Chanter album is a record which paints an emotional and expansive soundscape with a distinct sense of place, and that showcases MacGregor's ear for melody and dexterity at tugging at heartstrings.
