Scotland is known for its beautiful scenery, culture, and traditional music, including the iconic ballads of Scotland. But what happens when the traditional music is combined with a modern twist – in the form of alien elves?
This is the interesting premise behind the project “Rhymer”, a unique collaboration between award-winning Scottish ballad singer-songwriter Dougal McCutcheon and London-based producer Yossef Kojak. The project was borne out of a desire to mix the melodic and lyrical sounds of Scotland with a modern electronic sound. The result is a blissful blend of Scottish tales, contemporary beats and alien elves.
The music of Rhymer is truly unique and captivating. It fuses together elements of folk, rock and electronic music. The lyrics draw inspiration from Scottish folklore, telling stories of love, loss, and adventure. But it’s the addition of “alien elves” that adds an otherworldly flavor to the music. These phantasmagoric beings take center stage in the lyrics, bringing their own distinct charm and energy to the songs.
In addition to the music, Rhymer also includes several short films that delve further into the project’s unique themes. The visuals merge together Scottish and alien imagery, captivating the viewer with their beautiful yet eerie aesthetic.
The project has garnered acclaim from critics and audiences alike. With its captivating and unique fusion of sound and vision, Rhymer is sure to be a hit with anyone looking for something a little bit different. So why not give it a listen and experience the magic for yourself?
