Album Review: Scott Anchor and the Heavyweights - Strange Weather

 


The latest offering from Scott Anchor and the Heavyweights is packed with dreamy jangle vibes pulling several strands together in a haze of riveting tasteful melodic guitar rock. Nestled in the hinterland of Americana, STRANGE WEATHER is a buoyant collection of supercharged tunes masterly created and primed for ears preferring a refined sound from exerted guitars. 


Anchors exploits the connective craft of DIY production to never lose sight what resonates and hooks in a varied crowd.There are nods to Ryan Adams and Tom Petty stateside while entrenched in homeland sensibilities. It distances itself from a niche zone uniting all comers from multiple scenes. 


The essence of STRANGE WEATHER is quintessentially English, specifically Devonian, yet universal in outlook. Scott Anchors and the Heavyweights present a  record to banish the blues and lose yourself in songs high on passion and smart on sound.  


The album is scheduled for release on October 17th on vinyl and streaming. 
The vinyl is available to pre-order/buy from the online shop  www.scottanchors.bigcartel.com
