Our Take

Woah, hold onto your tweed caps, folks, because Wojtek the Bear's latest album "Heaven By The Back Door" is here to whisk you away on a whimsical musical journey. This Glasgow-based band has concocted a whimsical mix of indie pop and folk that will have you tapping your brogues and swaying your hips in no time.

From the moment the charmingly rustic opening track "Haggard" kicks in, you know you're in for a treat. With its infectious melodies and heartfelt lyrics, Wojtek the Bear transports you to a whimsical world where the grass is green, the rain is romantic, and the whisky flows freely.

Lead singer Tam Killean's vocals are like a warm hug from a kilt-clad stranger, wrapping you up in a cocoon of nostalgia and good vibes. The band's instrumentation is top-notch, with toe-tapping rhythms and shimmering guitars weaving together to create a tapestry of sound that is as comforting as a plate of haggis on a chilly Scottish evening.

Standout tracks like "Caledonia" and "Ballad of the Underdog" showcase Wojtek the Bear's ability to blend catchy pop hooks with a generous dose of Celtic charm. This is music to be enjoyed with a pint of ale and a roaring fire, transporting you to a world where unicorns roam free and the Loch Ness Monster gives you a friendly wink.

"Heaven By The Back Door" is a delightful romp through the Highlands and beyond, a musical adventure that will leave you smiling and singing along long after the last notes have faded. Grab your sporran and get ready to dance, because Wojtek the Bear has created a truly magical album that is guaranteed to warm even the coldest of Scottish hearts.
