"Impossible Bodies is a modern kind of bestiary, one whose often splendidly poetic images can also paint intimate portraits of human experience." - The Skinny "Impossible Bodies is as strong a debut album as you could wish to hear. It is the sound of an artist with a most wonderful gift for storytelling and for songcraft." - Louder Than War "There is a simplicity and directness in Eliott’s writing and a sparseness and intimacy in the delivery. However, these are not entry-level songs but a sophisticated suite of charming, bittersweet creature features." - The Scotsman "The Minnesota-born Glasgow-based artist's debut LP is a mature body of work both thematically and sonically, with its core concept emerging from their interest in medieval bestiaries and translating into a cohesive collection of tunes." - The 405
To celebrate the release of their debut LP 'Impossible Bodies" Faith Eliott has organised two very special shows:
5th May - The Hug and Pint, Glasgow
10th May - The Skylight, Edinburgh
Be ready to be surprised, educated and entertainment.

"Every song on Faith Eliott's debut album is inspired by a different animal and the resulting aural adventure riffs on cosmic order, gender identity, fabulous beasts and ancient folklore." Faith Eliott's feature interview is in today's edition of The Scotsman Magazine.

"I think a lot of the running themes are either captivity or trying to get out of the role... Feeling trapped in your own skin; the struggle between acceptance and dysphoria. I've definitely just chosen a lot of animals and projects myself onto them." Pick up a copy of the April issue of The Skinny to read a feature interview with Faith Eliott where they talk about their new album 'Impossible Bodies' and the story of OK PAL Records. @theskinnymag "Impossible Bodies" is out via OK PAL Records on 19th April 2019.

Following the release of her single "Marry You", Siobhan Wilson is back with a new video that finds her navigating her way through a dark forest with some unusual company. “I hadn't previously hung out with an owl,” she confesses, “but I do spend a lot of my time walking outdoors contemplating things, dressed in black, so this didn't feel like much of a different setting for me.” @siobhanisback
Big thanks to @louderthanwarofficial , @ball00nmachine , @backseatmafia , @godisinthetvzine and all those who shared the new video. x
Siobhan's LP 'The Departure' is out on 10th May 2019 via Suffering Fools Records.

Faith Eliott's debut release "Impossible Bodies" is The Scots Magazine's top Scottish solo releases for April alongside C Duncan and Callum Easter. "The first release on OK PAL, a label set up by Eliott and friend and fellow musician Hailey Beavis, Impossible Bodies is lyrically charming and musically complex. This set of shot-stories-in-song either plays out like an exploration of evolution and the natural world, or intimate musings on personal growth and gender identity depending on the mood with which you approach it." #FaithEliott #ImpossibleBodies #OKPAL #ScottishMusic #NewMusic #DebutAlbum #TheScotsMagazine #SoundofScotland 🎶🏴🏴
