Their outstanding use of harmonies and superb arrangements feature in 'Stòras' which translated means treasure or riches.

Recorded August 2014 at Castlesound Studios by Stuart Hamilton and produced by the band.

"...stunning Gaelic song supergroup with both sublimely complimentary vocals and spine-tingling contemporary reinventions of ancient material, together with beautifully crafted originals." The Scotsman

lyrics

'Ille bhàin mheallta
Cealgair agus slaightear
'S e 'n t-olc a bha fainnear dhut
Suarach bha do bheusan

Gheall thu dhomh na rionnagan
Mheall thu mi le'd bhriodal
Dhall thu mi le breugan
'S tu dhìobair agus thrèig mi

Mhiannaich mi gu dùrachdach
Nach fhaicinn thu gu sìorraidh
Guidheam ort droch bhreitheanas
Nuair thig ort Latha na Fìrinn

False fair boy
deceiver and cheat
Evil were your intentions
Despicable were your actions

You promised me the stars
You beguiled me with your sweet talk
You blinded me with lies
You have deserted and forsaken me

I fervently wished
That I'd never see you again
I wish the worst of judgements on you
When your day of reckoning comes.

Surprisingly laid back EP given the cover art, but still some fine traditional music from the band. You can't go far wrong with Dàimh. (Eagerly awaiting the bandana!) Oynque
