On This Gift, Glasgow's Sons & Daughters turns vitriol sweet.

With American bands apparently intent on making modern Americana an exercise in moping, it’s a relief to see a few Scots re-sleazing up the genre. Like X without all the internal tragedies, Glasgow's Sons & Daughters do the post-country rockabilly romp stomp with an electrifying and visceral verve. It’s a singular pleasure to hear Adele Bethel spit such lyrical vitriol and unpleasantness in what is actually rather a sweet, innocent sounding voice. Never have revenge fantasies never sounded so… charming.
