My Latest Novel

... is not an attempt of mine at writing fiction, but the name of a Scottish band (a quintet from Glasgow, to be precise) whose debut album Wolves is coming out in two weeks (no word yet on when the record will be released in the US). Already being hyped as the British answer to The Arcade Fire, and showcasing a wide palette of classy influences including Low, Bright Eyes, Sufjan Stevens, Belle and Sebastian and even Mogwai, My Latest Novel certainly excel at creating hypnotizing moments of sheer beauty with their lush vocal harmonies, post-rock dreamy atmospheres, poetic lyrics and baroque, string-ladden instrumentation. Check out their first single 'Sister Sneaker, Sister Soul,' album track 'Pretty in Panic,' and new single 'The Reputation of Ross Francis' (out today in the UK) and see for yourself why Wolves ensures that the race for album of the year 2006 is going to be a very competitive one.
