Review by Carmen Wong Fisch
Aidan Moffat & The BestOfs' album "How To Get To Heaven From Scotland" is a unique and captivating musical experience. The album features a mix of spoken word and music, with Moffat's distinct Scottish accent adding an extra layer of authenticity to the lyrics.
The songs on the album are deeply personal and introspective, exploring themes of love, loss, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. Moffat's storytelling is raw and honest, drawing the listener in and immersing them in his world.
The music on the album is equally compelling, with a mix of acoustic and electronic instrumentation that adds to the atmosphere of the songs. The BestOfs' arrangements are subtle and understated, allowing Moffat's vocals and lyrics to take center stage.
