Wind-tousled life on the east coast ofScotland, the unhurried cultivation of sound and the tender hope that everything might be alright in the end combine to enchant onGulpslatest albumBeneath Strawberry Moons, the combined inspirations ofLindsey LevenandGuto Pryceare supplemented by the musicianship ofAndrew Wasylykas the stomach-butterflies of optimism flutter around and the lapping foams of the bands ethereal, folkish psych-pop.

Musician and multi-media artist, Leven rejoins Pryce, who traces faintly around the simmering offbeat sounds of his life as aSuper Furry Animal(as well as part ofDas KooliesandThe Pictish Trail), and supporting bandmates,Gid Goundrey(guitar) andStuart Kidd(drums), for Gulps third album. The nine-trackBeneath Strawberry Moons,releasedviaELK Records, follows their 2014 debut,Season Sun, released withSonic Cathedraland the acclaimedAll Good Wishes, which arrived four years later. Extending the gestation of a complete, new collection of work to seven years, accounting for the pairs relocation from Pryces native Cardiff,Beneath Strawberry Moonsemerges as a minimal-carbon-footprint,hyperlocalalbum, created amongst friends with no deadlines betweenPiggery Studioand the duos garden cabin inNorth East Fife.

Describing their surrounds as idyllic and responding artistically to the significant life change, that has brought energy and release, Leven describes the album asin the most part a love letter to this new way of life,celebrating space, love, connection and time, cut with an underlying awareness of the fragility of this beauty.Having leaked new material, the cinematic showdown ofAlways So Far, back in May, the choice ofHope Shines Through The Haaras Gulps first single since 2018 links the pairs delicately charged sense of abundant possibility, Scotlands heritage and their bracing proximity to the sea.
