“Inspired…jangles with all the rainy loveliness of Belle and Sebastian” - UNCUT magazine
“A great new songwriting talent from Scotland” – Bob Harris, BBC
“A sparkling tunesmith” – Metro
“Beautifully melancholic” – Press Association
“A heady combination of guitar riffs and pop melody has seen Ally Kerr become the next big thing on the British music scene” - Time Out
“Kerr’s songs meld the saccharin side of Belle and Sebastian with the kind of melancholy that Paul Simon’s cat must feel at the end of a day’s recording after milk and biscuits. They are beautifully written and wistful” - Sunday Herald.
“Gentle Scottish folk with a pop tinge. If Stuart from Belle & Sebastian did a solo gig…” - Express (part of the Washington Post Company).
One of Scotland’s fastest-rising songwriters continues to flourish as an independent artist, picking up fans across the world. Ally Kerr’s success initially began in Japan following the release of his critically-acclaimed debut album Calling Out To You, much of which was written as Ally travelled between the East Coast of the USA and the West Coast of Scotland. It was self-funded and recorded on a shoestring budget back home in Scotland and was first released on tiny Japanese label Quince Records. Its inclusion in a major Japanese music magazine’s list of “Top 20 Albums Ever To Come Out Of Scotland”, was testament to the strength of the songs and the album happily sat alongside the seminal works of Orange Juice and Belle and Sebastian.

A damn shame that people only know one song of Ally's. It's a lovely one, true, but no less so than most of his others!
