Taking their name from the Scottish town on the Hebridean Isle of Lewis, England's Stornoway combine clever pop songcraft with lyrics rooted in wildlife, literature, and youthful romanticism. The band's jangly folk-pop sound found favor with the masses in 2010 after their debut album, Beachcomber's Windowsill, reached number 14 on the U.K. Albums chart. Subsequent efforts Tales from Terra Firma (2013) and Bonxie (2015) saw the group incorporate psychedelic and baroque pop elements into their oeuvre. Stornoway disbanded the following year, but they re-formed in 2022 for a series of festival performances and released their fourth studio album, Dig the Mountain!, in 2023.
Members of Stornoway include, or have included, Brian Briggs.
