From the northern gales of the Highlands to the peaks of Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh, The Douglas Firs is the brainchild of Neil Insh, born and bred in Aberdeen before de-camping to Scotland’s capital. Daring, lively and tender, The Douglas Firs have recently been described as "Belle & Sebastian on a spirit-quest" (The List). To which Neil responded, "I would agree, but only if the 'spirit' was hard liquor, and Belle and Sebastian had some balls."

The Shadow Line is taken from the forthcoming album Happy as a Windless Flag - out onMonday 16th May via Armellodie Records - tackling the melee of giving in to growing old, articulately dissecting and mournfully celebrating the different ways of dealing with the maxim that life’s apropos is coming to terms with death, whilst making every effort to avoid cliche of expression.

Anyone who has ever tried to dig their way through avant-garde, post-rock, experimental or improvised music will know that it can at times be a little dry – The Douglas Firs themselves claim they would be verging on prog-rock if they could play their instruments, and didn’t like Buddy Holly so much – this record is the perfect remedy for hard worked ears, in the dark, on your headphones, for the best results!

The single is available as a free download and streaming at the following links:
