What gives us the strength to get back on our feet after someone has broken our trust? That’s the tough question Tommy Ashby, our favorite Scottish artist for three years now, tries to answer in Finish Line, taken from his upcoming album Mantis, out June 6th.

For this one, Tommy steps a little away from the purely folk sound we’ve come to know him for. He offers a bold and surprisingly effective blend of organic folk-pop that… well, kind of makes you want to dance. Strange, right? Especially considering the song’s rather melancholic subject.

But with his sharp songwriting and natural feel for melody, Tommy once again proves he’s one of the best at what he does: making songs that hit home. And yep, he’s done it again.

Tommy Ashby’s take on “Finish Line”

“This was an intense one but I’m so happy with how it turned out, with its fuzz guitars and heavy drum bop 🙂 Been playing it with the band and it is so much fun. Cannot wait to tour it!”
