Hailing from Paisley, Scotland, Small Town Boredom record lo-fi lullabies that draw on the internal lament of what was and what could have been.

After two critically acclaimed self-released EPs, Small Town Boredom's quiet miserablism has drawn comparisons with Low, Hood, early Leonard Cohen, and 'a kind of acoustic Joy Division'. The unique introspective ambience of their debut LP 'Autumn Might Have Hope' sets sparse arrangements of Spanish guitar, bass, mandolin, harmonium, violin, piano and slow motion drums against heavy-hearted hushed vocals and buried field recordings.

"...emotional twists of bitter sweetness, combining acoustic slowness, melodic lo-fi lightness and more rough passages, in a style halfway between Boduf Songs and Rivulets. But more than these artists' music, here there is the typically British "pop" attitude and an everlasting adolescent spirit, which make "Autumn Might Have Hope" a hidden jewel full of emotional authenticity...discreetly laying on the ridge between hope and disillusionment and in a fall of the soul ever so sweet and comforting."

"Almost whispered vocals sparsely accompanied by guitar, piano, harmonium, slow Low-esque drums and violin - these are miniature hymns to melancholy. Fragments of dictaphone recorded songs and field recordings intersperse throughout. Lovely." - Boa Melody Bar
