(Ernest Jenning Record Co)
★★★
INESCAPABLY perhaps, the fourth album from Glasgow trio Paws seems to be haunted by the recently passed Scottish singer-songwriter Scott Hutchinson.
In addition to starting out on the same label as Hutchinson’s critically acclaimed band Frightened Rabbit, Paws also toured with them and their new record is produced by Rabbit guitarist Andy Monaghan.
