Claude says:There Will Be Fireworks is a Glasgow five-piece who put out The Dark, Dark Bright in 2013, back when Nicholas McManus and his bandmates were fresh out of university. It's indie rock that leans into post-rock's sweep without losing the folk-inflected warmth — guitar lines that breathe, rhythms that build and release. You bounced off it a couple times in 2023 and 2024, but when it finally clicked in mid-2026 — thirteen years after release — you went deep: "So Stay Close," "Youngblood," "River," "Elder and Oak" all heavy in the rotation through fall.
