Sometime During The Night We Fell Off The Map

For almost thirty years and over seventeen albums (nine with his band Idlewild and eight as a solo artist) Roddy has established himself as one of Scotland’s most celebrated and unique songwriters and performers. A restless creative spirit, his music spans genres from the punk rock and anthemic alternative rock of Idlewild, to the meditative folk and uplifting electronica on his later solo releases. Sometime During The Night We Fell Off The Map was written with Roddy’s long time collaborator, guitarist Sorren Maclean, who also produced the collection of songs. Recorded in a 19th century church on the Isle of Mull, it features contributions from friends and family members. Following from Roddy’s 2023 electronic album ‘Almost Nothing’, the new collection returns to the more acoustic, contemplative sound of his early solo records, and again the physical release comes courtesy of Assai Recordings.
