Songwriting brothers Andy & Dave Macleod had a brief brush with fame with indie outfit The Pointy Birds in the 1990s. The band didn’t get anywhere, but their book detailing their exploits, ‘Anoint My Head’, become a word-of-mouth success. Big Slice is their latest vehicle and this, their second album, is awash with ‘proper indie’. With a full band behind them, this touches on everything from Orange Juice jangle to gently fried psych (courtesy of some Moog washes) to C86 noodlings. I’m in! DP
