Edinburgh’s Luxury Car is the work of John Robertson (guitars, keyboards, vocals) and Kieran Heather (bass).

Signed to Biphonic Records, the label which brought us the fine electopop styling of Seafieldroad and Swimmer One (both acclaimed and featued on this very blog), they are set to release their album When I Was Good on February 28.

They make perfect sense on Biphonic, and the music is both stylish electro and hauntingly acoustic (and if I hear one more idiot mention the ‘f’ word, I’ll deck ’em!), as exemplified by the two tracks that have been made available to download ahead of the album’s release: ‘I Play the Guitar’ with it’s gorgeously stuttering, glitchy intro into a fine pop song and the heartfelt, forlorn ‘Shame’. Think The Blue Nile. Think Boards Of Canada. Think Errors…and think it in the same act.
