Stornoway signs to 4AD 9 February 2010 We are delighted to announce that the Oxford based band Stornoway have signed to 4AD. 2010 is already shaping up to be a strong year for Stornoway, one to match their not inconsiderable successes of 2009. January saw the Oxford Ê»Faux Popʼ songsmiths being credited with the enviable accolade of a position in the highly influential BBC Sound of 2010 tastemaker poll. It is rare that the BBC gets its predictions wrong and many previous early tips from them have gone on to achieve greatness. The band are now moving on from being phenomenally credible, independent, unsigned artists to being one of the first key signings of 2010 and with their debut album set for a late May release they are starting the year as they mean to go on. âThe ace up Stornowayâs sleeve is that their songs are suffused with unmistakable melancholy and poignancyâ â" The Sunday Times Culture, Tips For 2010 âRomantic nature-lauding lyricsâ NME âStornoway have the gift of writing new songs that sound timelessâ The Daily Telegraph âThe most marvellous thing weʼve seen in ages⦠not one song was less than lovely and they immediately became Our New Favourite Bandâ The Guardian http://www.myspace.com/stornoway ------------------------------------
