Product description


Elgin and The Mables describe The Sun Never Sets as "a semi-concept album in the tradition of The Kinks’ Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire), The Sun Never Sets tells the story of the last decade of Britain over the course of 12 original tracks." 

"At turns biting, satirical, funny and tender, the record captures a country lurching from nostalgia to chaos, austerity to arrogance – told mostly through the voices of the villains: politicians, landlords, curators, royals and Jim Davidson" says Callum from Elgin and The Marbles. 

Elgin and the Marbles is fronted by Callum Baird, a Glasgow-based songwriter who was editor of The National for seven years and is now editor-in-chief of a publishing group that includes The Herald and Glasgow Times. 

 “I was on the frontline reporting for every twist and turn of all these massive political stories - and that experience runs all through the songs,” says Callum. “It’s basically a record inspired by working through that whole s**tshow – Brexit, Boris, broken Britain, all of that."
