"with a sense of this youth in those eyes staring back at me"
The Micro Band hail from Edinburgh, Scotland. I wonder if that beautiful city and country import their sound. I wouldn't be surprised. Listening to the truly trippy, curious Pneuma Soma Sarx, (in the context here, Greek for Spirit Body Flesh) and told in their pristine, organic way, pushed through alternative folk motifs feels magical like their stories pull from ancient places.
The Official Video as directed by the band's own Alex Auldsmith and Lucie Yavruturk with choreography and performance by Suzi Cunningham and the talents of Director of Photography, Scott Bruce of Pink Canvas Media is a trancy affair with avant garde imagery.
The Micro Band is Alexander Auldsmith (Lead Vocals, Guitar, Percussion, Backing Vocals), Daniel Crichton (Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals), Lucie Yavruturk (Vocals), Ruairidh Morrison (Bass), Sam Dick (Drums), Euan Macpherson (Drums/Percussion) and Michael Davidson (Backing Vocals, Percussion).

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:
The Micro Band is a constantly evolving entity built around the songs. The members have bonded into a family unit that has grown and matured musically, emotionally and expressively to arrive at this point.
Worldly rhythmic, warm, honest, outsider pop.
Each song is a personal expression that is intimate but accessible at the same time. The most recent recordings capture the music in its most truthful form.
The new 3 track EP was recorded and produced at Abbey Road Studios London.
From Edinburgh, Scotland. They have been together for around 7 years (DIY gigs, touring, travelling, Festivals big and small, gathering a cult following that has a inclusive, community vibe). They mostly live together, sharing life, love, music, art and letting it all out in the music.
