Some people recognize that sometimes the journey is more important than the destination. For some, it is the very twists and turns, the ebb and flow of music that makes it worth listening to. Songs that follow the route of most beauty, with little regard for the time it takes, offer an alternative to the instant and some what tired three minute pop thrill. Larmousse, Scotland's biggest secret, take the scenic route on their debut, mixed by Guy Fixsen (Laika) and mastered by Howie Weinberg, mastering engineer to the stars. Formed in 1997 by Cliff Henderson and Scott Wallace in a garage on the Cumbernauld estate where Gregory's Girl was filmed , Larmousse's main protagonists can claim no formal musical training. Yet they had a soundtrack in their heads which they began downloading in their tiny rehearsal space. Because they didn't know the rules, they couldn't obey them and as they were unaware of the conventions they had no idea they were breaking them. The result was an astonishing 60 minute demo of eight songs brimming with imagination and originality, including a 16 minute epic with feedback to shred your speakers.
