About the event
We are proud to have The Wynntown Marshals back at The Blue Lamp to launch their new album 'Big Ideas'
‘Big Ideas’, the fourth full-length studio album by Edinburgh-based The Wynntown Marshals, will sound immediately familiar to those who know the band, and serves as the ideal introduction for those who are less familiar with their output. Four years in the making, the album features ten tracks covering jangling, forthright, radio-ready power pop, rugged, rootsy rockers, moody guitar workouts and stately ballads – all underpinned by the heartfelt, poetic wordplay that the band are well-known for.
The Marshals have, like the rest of the planet, been through some challenges in recent times – and some of the lyrical content is inevitably shaped by the events of the past two years (the title track and ‘Disappointment’ in particular), but - like the protagonist in the middle eight of the nostalgic, bittersweet album track ‘Tourist In My Hometown’ - the band have ‘emerged unbroken, smarting from the pain’.
