A little background

Originally a solo project by Glasgow's Alan McNeill, Engine7 has evolved and expanded dramatically since its debut in 2004. Last year's release on Herb Recordings, "Me, But Perfect", saw Alan's solo talent embrace the wider sonic pallet available in a full six-piece band. The result was hauntingly beautiful, rightfully earning comparisons to the emotionally-charged legends Sigur Ros, Julien Neto and Ulrich Schnauss. In turn, Engine7's deceptively simple melodies often veil a staggering wave of sound and complexity, often evident only after repeat exposures.
