Their Debut LP <a href="spotify:album:0gGZ6GZrjK6F9n4KahCujP" data-name="Shouting At Wildlife">Shouting At Wildlife</a> was described by The Herald as "a Scottish pop classic that should be mandatory in every record collection in the country", with follow-up <a href="spotify:album:3OO5579AHtpDvowABadI7U" data-name="Now That You Are a Dancer">Now That You Are a Dancer</a> Longlisted for the Scottish Album of the Year Award in 2014.
A light-hearted raconteur and heavy-hearted singer when accompanied by just a guitar, and a thrilling wall of noise, melody, and energy when with band, MacGregor released the eponymous <a href="spotify:album:36VrSwHwMVQzsV7A83eWBb" data-name="Broken Chanter">Broken Chanter</a> to critical acclaim in 2019. A record which paints an emotional and expansive soundscape with a distinct sense of place, showcasing his ear for melody and dexterity at tugging heart-strings.

It is an album filled to the brim with sharp pop sensibility and sublime gentler moments, and propelled MacGregor into the charts for the first time in his career.
After signing with Chemikal Underground, the muscular and intense <a href="spotify:album:4e44xp6cE9C1drlgzovHox" data-name="Chorus Of Doubt">Chorus Of Doubt</a> arrived in April 2024, full of thudding, powerful odes to the strength of collectivity and togetherness.
