That band name might be a mouthful but the tunes on this debut album just roll off the tongue. First Charge Of The Light Brigade aren't exactly an unknown quantity - lead songwriter Yorkick Cormack used to be in alt-country group Endrick Brothers, while guests here include Paolo Nutini's guitarist Donny Little and (throwing in some backing vocals) Roddy Hart - and not long ago they completed a six-month residency in the west-end surroundings of Bar Brel.

Their sound, too, contains a few recognisable musical landmarks, most obviously Teenage Fanclub in the harmonies that soak into songs such as Postcards From Randy Newman. But while they're not the first Glasgow band to fit themselves into that particular Byrds/Big Star lineage, it's impossible to fault songwriting of this quality.

Angel's Share has a tinkly keyboard element that's less west-coast America, more early 1970s UK singles and that might seem a touch too light for certain fans of local guitar bands. But, ah, those melodies chime: this is radiant country-folk with a side order of polished pop, as deserving as any of its bite at the mainstream apple.
