Surprised I've not posted this here already. It's been out since Friday, and I appeared on Celtic Music Radio promoting it. It's our usual brand of Foot Stomping Folk, and we're quite happy with it.
Recorded at Breakout Music Space in Perth.

Idiogram's debut single "Twilight Sleep" released today
Hi r/ScottishMusic! We're Idiogram, a post-prog band from East Lothian.
We're releasing our debut single "Twilight Sleep" today: an intense and vivid journey through dynamic musical sections interlocked with an atmospheric layer of shifting energy. It's accompanied by a music video by Jess Aslan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1hziyWB6OE
If you enjoy it, consider sharing it with a likeminded friend; we'd love to answer any questions you have!

Can anyone suggest sources (or methods) for how to research which military regiments might have close affinity with specific traditional tunes?
I've downloaded a PDF copy of Keith Macdonald's famous Skye Collection of the Best Reels and Strathspeys Extant (1887), which contains more than 400 tunes. I've started making modern arrangements of a few, adding my own harmony and beats.
I know well that many traditional tunes are performed ceremonially by regimental bands. I'm therefore wary that I don't want to inadvertently publish something which might trample upon their rich history. But likewise, many tunes are also widely known far beyond the military sphere. For example, I've gleaned that the North American "Sessions" trad folk website has 85 notated versions of the tune Cutting Bracken, all apparently with (mostly) minor differences, but essentially the same tune which Keith Macdonald had listed as Cutting Ferns.
I'd be grateful if anybody is aware if such a thing exists, and could thus point me in the right direction, for any centralised databank indexed by tune, identifying historical associations for each. My assumption is that regimental bands will keep records of every gig and what was performed in their set list. I am hoping that those records have been digitised going back to pre-Napoleonic times, and might be publicly accessible.

Hello everyone,
I started an indie label myself, based in Glasgow a few years back, but within the last year we have properly gained some traction with our roster of artists, I would appreciate anyone having a look and checking us out, we are on all socials, and I’ve attached our linktree link below! We have our next release cues up for this Friday! 😁

Boulder Fields 'Wipe Out the Stars' Celtic Americana/Indie-folk crossover. A kinda love song to my long-adopted city. There's a lot to dislike about Edinburgh, but a lot to love too.

Bruach - The Balaena (Live)
What do you guys think?
This is a live recording, which does lose a bit of the bass and the energy of actual live shows, but it's fun to play and it gets the crowd going.
