He has released 1 single, 4 EP’s, 2 mini-album’s, 2 full length albums, a collaboration album and curated a compilation. He has been likened to artists as diverse as Iain Archer, Snow Patrol, Aereogramme, Sparklehorse, Elliott Smith, Damien Rice, Guided by Voices, Susuma Yokota and The Blue Nile.
His music has been played by John Peel, Radio 3’s Late Junction, the Scottish Evening Session on Radio 1, Beat 106’s The Beatscene and local radio / internet radio the length and breadth of the country.
Here’s what some people have had to say:
“The world needs mavericks like Calamateur. Holed up somewhere outside Inverness, Andrew Howie has been making a find blend of folk, rock and electronica for almost a decade.”
- The List
“it is clear that Calamateur, otherwise known as Andrew Howie, is a very special talent and it is little wonder that his music is turning heads in the industry.”
- Cross Rhythms
And before that:
“…nothing short of brilliantly absorbing…”
- Is This Music?
“…bloody good…”
- The List
“…stunning… a work of beauty…what took Snow Patrol’s 3 albums and 4 people to accomplish, Calamateur’s Andrew Howie manages straight off with songs of desolate beauty underpinned with a savage hope…”
- John Earls, Planet Sound
“…the aim is true and the heart is strong in this beautiful little record. 4/5.”
