Introduction

My Latest Novel are a Scottish band, from Greenock & Gourock.

Background

A five piece, (consisting of Chris Deveney, Gary Deveney, Laura McFarlane, Paul McGeachy and Ryan King), My Latest Novel are from the small town of Greenock, near Glasgow in Scotland. They augment the traditional rock line up of guitars, drums, bass and keyboards, with the use of violins, xylophones and undulating percussion, as well as multi-part vocals. Their musical style is notable for its contrasting melancholic and uplifting moods, the unusual use of the spoken word, and by surprising mid-song changes in tempo and atmosphere.

The band has toured the UK with Smog, Low, British Sea Power and The Dears as well as opening for the Pixies at Meadowbank Stadium in Edinburgh. They have also toured the UK and mainland Europe independently. They are signed to the British record label Bella Union Records, and in the US with The Worker's Institute both of whom released their debut album Wolves in 2006.

They released their second album, Deaths and Entrances, on 18 May, 2009.
