Band to Watch: The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir

As if opening up for Arcade Fire and Spoon wasn’t enough of a reason to make The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir a band to watch, you can also add praise from Ira Glass, Wayne Coyne, and now Hypeful to their musical resume. Consisting of five core members, SYGC is described as a free-spirited collective of over 50 musical visionaries (take that Polyphonic Spree!). The group turns out short and sweet chamber pop comparable to Belle & Sebastian - and they’re just as infectious. After signing a deal with Bloodshot Records, The Choir will be releasing their self-titled second album on October 23 and undoubtedly receiving heaps of attention.
