Errors - Have Some Faith In Magic

Superb third album that should push the foursome out of Mogwai's shadow

6 Jan 2012

(Rock Action) Lazily regarded as Mogwai-lite for most of their seven year existence, Errors’ third offering finally sees the Glasgow foursome shrug off the shackles of their legendary label founders’ early patronage. Anyone with half a brain could…

St Andrew's Day - The best music from Scotland

Our editors pick highlights from Scottish music through history

25 Nov 2011

Treasure (1984, 4AD) by the Cocteau Twins. Because when ‘Lorelei’ or ‘Ivo’ are playing, it’s hard not to feel a surge of hairs-on-arm-raising national pride about the Grangemouth origins of such a beautiful, essential dream-pop album. Forget listening…

Electric Frog September Weekender – SWG3, Glasgow, Sat 10–Sun 11 Sep

19 Sep 2011

‘It’s good that this is in Glasgow, ‘cause not a lot of great things happen in Glasgow,’ praised Errors’ Steev Livingston of Electric Frog. His tongue was possibly ever so slightly in cheek, but these micro festivals – of which this September Weekender…

The top albums of 2010

LCD Soundsystem, Washed Out, Robyn, Errors, Arcade Fire

17 Feb 2011

LCD Soundsystem This Is Happening (DFA/ EMI) James Murphy and co’s last album also features one of the year’s most tantalisingly misleading album intros. It’s over three (very mellow) minutes into ‘Dance Yrself Clean’ before the proper beats…

Errors

Tolbooth, Stirling, Fri 19 Mar 2010

31 Mar 2010

‘What’s that? You want us to play Oasis’ 'I Am the Walrus'?’ Oh dear. And so, some mouthy Stirlingite did confirm the preconceptions of those from the Central Belt’s other cities regarding what constitutes modern music here. Okay, that’s harsh. But the…

Errors set for date at Grand Ole Opry, Glasgow

17 Feb 2010

‘God, I hope it doesn’t get to the point where we all try to outdo each other and turn into Rush,’ shudders Errors’ drum leviathan James Hamilton, talking about the Glasgow quartet’s rousing group dynamic. ‘But the thing about playing in an instrumental…

Errors - Come Down With Me

3 Feb 2010

(Rock Action) It’s been a while since a bunch of arty boys from Glasgow made one of the records of the year. But with their second offering Come Down With Me (a title in homage to the Channel 4 dining bitchfest), Errors have done exactly that.

Rock Action favourites Errors first made their twitchy, electronic mark with 2007 EP ‘How Clean is Your Acid House?’ With another Channel 4-referencing album Come Down With Me in February, expect more melodic electronica and a full tour to follow.
