Stornoway - Fuel Up (4AD Sessions)

[ShuttleChannel]

Both a friend and I would love to have this song played at our funerals.

[bloodyhellbeth]

This is so good!

[chickiesgrettagirl]

just beautiful!!

[princeabot]

Love the last note of the bass...it adds the perfect ending

[JonnieBrightside]

A unique voice, delivering unique poetry... Little is as moving.

[Romeoette666]

This is an amazing band, and deserves a lot more views.

It takes a lot to make me tear up!

[JimKeane16]

Isn't that Aaron off Big Brother? :L

[yobboblogging]

I discovered this song when I passed my driving test!

[mnemmosyne]

bassist looks like innocent and sweet version of Chuck Bass <3

[mnemmosyne]

3:26this part always makes me wanna cry...such a beautiful song

[MrRedstuff]

Banging tune

[ThisIsSamYule]

That bassist is beautiful, man.

[lecuisinier28]

so so so much better than mumford and sons

[justlove999]

@lecuisinier28 cause they aren't COMPLETELY different, or anything... Mumford and Sons is awesome, Stornoway is awesome, all in their own awesome way.

[sophieMATERS]

beautiful song, these guys need more recognition!!

[AMYCAK35]

i saw these yesterday at the moseley folk festival and they were amazing!!!!!

[davedavedudely]

Drive on, drive on... OKAY I NEED A DRIVING LICENSE RIGHT NOW.

[CootaRead]

This song could seriously be named after me, I swear. I wish Stornoway could know how much they've touched me. Please vote this up so they can see how much this means to me.

Kirsten Taylor Saffel, I love you... but you will never love me, and it's killing me. #intears.

[TheDeadlyDreidel]

fucking awesome song



[RocketSummergurl]

SCROLL UP YOU'RE MISSING THE VIDEO

[Eyepiercings]

better than studio

[jellyfold]

Love this group. First heard them on some radio roadshow thingy I think. It's, 'I think', because was trawling the airwaves and only stopped to hear a song of theirs. Didn't know who they were but wanted to find out. They blew me away. They're from a place called Stornoway in Scotland, hence the name of the band.

[Clemsonandcubsfan1]

@jellyfold They're from the Oxford area

[cristov2k]

@jellyfold they r from oxford

[Ashaapplecheeks]

I have the same guitar as him! :)

[moonvagabond]

Oh may...

[Andandio1]

Great, wonderfull band, love it !!

[Jeloubool]

Absolutely brilliant. I bought their vinyl yesterday =)

[00brenna]

I am so in love with this band.

[Saamson42]

[UtopiaMinor666]

[AnimeJunkie95]

@UtopiaMinor666 no, they're english. from oxford i think.

[TheRussWhitley]

So beautiful - a song from my favourite album of recent times.

[Pablosammy1]

@TheRussWhitley Absolutely. I lived in this album for a month!

[TheRussWhitley]

So beautiful - a song from my favourite album of recent times.

[mahajohn]

Also, the vocalist kind of sounds like he is the progeny of James' Tim Booth. Can I get an amen?

[majaxification]

@mahajohn AMEN:)

[mahajohn]

4AD has given the world fascinating, amazing music to us lovers for just about 30 years, so thanks to Ivo! This band rocks!

[koderboy88]

At my lowest ebb I listen to this and think of my loved ones. Absolutely great.

[michaelb3197]

He sounds Scottish, is he? Because he would do my country proud if he was!

[cfcdazza]

@michaelb3197 think they're from Oxford but not 100% sure

[DorkifiedAndLovely]

His voice is SPECTACULAR.

[alicej1010]

I LOVE STORNOWAY....

[creepycraig73]

Thank you, Ivo.

[Vloggerofallvloggers]

Does anyone know any other bands similar to this? All I got so far is I am Arrows and, of course, Mumford & Sons... thanks! :)

[RuebenCarlos]

@Vloggerofallvloggers perhaps Belle and Sebastian or Noah and the Whale (first day of spring-album) Also, try Jake Morley and Ruarri Joseph (they don't have as mystical a style) but defo worth it

[KishoAudioVisual]

4AD=Best Indie Label <3

[ATRUEGUITARHERO]

I love the bands that have such a wide variety of instruments.

What is the instrument being played at 4:07?

[zwitterface]

@ATRUEGUITARHERO Looks like a kanun to me

[zakifarrah]

@ATRUEGUITARHERO  it looks like guzheng...or zither

[MonsterUnderYourB3d]

I absolutely love the first verses lyrics. <3 it captures perfectly my life at the moment.

[goverjkg]

This has to be the best video I've ever seen. I could do with more shots of Rob and Ollie but thats not the important part :) whatta song!!!

[kamikitten]

I have no words for how beautiful this is.

[TheGinabur]

Can anyone tell me what kind of harp/dulcimer is being played in the video? Also, Stornoway is amazing. So glad they've signed on to 4AD!

[jimboshizz]

@TheGinabur I saw them the other day, and Brian said it was Turkish... I think it's a Kanun

Please post the rest of the segments. The Flash player is a bit wonky on the 4AD site.

[texaspariah]

@creepycraig73 I agree! I tried to post on my blog and it's missing a portion of an embed code. I'm not that tech savvy so mass frowns for my readers and for me!
