Errant Boy

Errant Boy is an indie guitar pop trio from Edinburgh, Scotland, formed in 2015. The band members are Chris Harvie (guitars/songs), Sarrah McLaren (drums), and Sean Ormsby (voice/bass/songs). Known for their DIY approach, Errant Boy draws inspiration from the smart guitar pop of the 1980s, with influences like Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, The Go-Betweens, Felt, and The Smiths. Their sound is melodic and lean, combining tight songcraft with introspective lyrics that often explore personal and autobiographical themes, ranging from childhood memories to adult experiences including fatherhood. They have released albums such as *A Wayward Mirror* (2016) and *Memory Fractures* (2018), the latter praised for its inventive recording techniques and emotional depth. Their recent singles include *El Greco* and *The Poisoned Word*.
