Broken Chanter is the moniker for the music project by Scottish musician David MacGregor, who is better known as the former frontman of the indie folk band Kid Canaveral. Following the hiatus of Kid Canaveral, MacGregor embarked on a solo venture, debuting as Broken Chanter with self-titled work that has captivated listeners with its melodious blend of folk and indie pop. Establishing himself as a profound songwriter, his music is characterised by introspective lyricism, emotive melodies, and a deeply personal touch that reflects both his Scottish roots and a broader, more universal sense of wanderlust and introspection.

Since the release of his debut album "Broken Chanter" in 2019, MacGregor has continued to expand his discography with a series of compelling tracks that showcase his versatility and ability to evolve. With heart-tugging numbers such as "So Long! (I'm Not Around)" and the evocative "Horse Island," along with its remixes that offer a fresh sonic perspective, Broken Chanter has demonstrated a grasp on both storytelling and sonic innovation. His thoughtful compositions, like "Allow Yourself" and the hauntingly beautiful "Dancing Skeletons," further cement Broken Chanter's reputation as a project where lyrical depth meets captivating soundscapes, proving that MacGregor's solo journey is one rich in emotion and artistry.
