Broken Chanter is David MacGregor, on his lonesome, or accompanied by an array of very talented musicians. MacGregor spent 2007-2017 as the principal songwriter of Scottish Alt-Pop darlings&nbsp;Kid Canaveral. Their Debut LP&nbsp;Shouting At Wildlife&nbsp;was described by The Herald as "a Scottish pop classic that should be mandatory in every record collection in the country", with follow-up&nbsp;Now That You Are a Dancer&nbsp;Longlisted for the Scottish Album of the Year Award in 2014. A light-hearted raconteur and heavy-hearted singer when accompanied by just a guitar, and a thrilling wall of noise, melody, and energy when with band, MacGregor released the eponymous&nbsp;Broken Chanter&nbsp;to critical acclaim in 2019. A record which paints an emotional and expansive soundscape with a distinct sense of place, showcasing his ear for melody and dexterity at tugging heart-strings.&nbsp;With touring cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, MacGregor sat at home, freaked out for a bit, then dusted himself off, emerging with&nbsp;Catastrophe Hits&nbsp;in late 2021. It is an album filled to the brim with sharp pop sensibility and sublime gentler moments, and propelled MacGregor into the charts for the first time in his career. After signing with Chemikal Underground, the muscular and intense&nbsp;Chorus Of Doubt&nbsp;arrived in April 2024, full of thudding, powerful odes to the strength of collectivity and togetherness. BC's most immediate record to date, it is an open love letter to the power of solidarity and perseverance.
