Adam Beattie – 'Somewhere Round the Bend'

Aberdeenshire Balladeer Adam Beattie announces new album ‘Somewhere Round the Bend’ and gives us a first taste in form of its foreboding title track. 

‘Somewhere Round the Bend’ gives off an eerie vibe. Sneaking guitars and stalking drums evoke an uneasy feeling not unlike walking alone at night and turning into a dark alley, unsure of what’s waiting around the corner. Adam’s haunting vocals further play on that sentiment, slowly weaving themselves around the dark instrumental and whispering in your ear – “well, I said I didn’t love you but that just wasn’t right or just as true as to say that I loved you at first sight.” 

‘Somewhere Round the Bend’ is a brilliant first single announcing the arrival of a new album that, with unique soundscapes, is going to draw you into Adam’s wonderful world of storytelling. Speakign about the record he says: “‘Somewhere Round The Bend’ refers to the imagination stretching back into the past and forth into the future. The songs are intended to all transport you into their own unique world, they are all set in a very different time and place.”
