Adam Ross is a songwriter based in north-east Scotland. He has led the cult indie band Randolph’s Leap for over a decade, releasing music with King Creosote and Pictish Trail’s Fence Records and Lost Map as well as Olive Grove Records and Fika Recordings. He released a debut solo folk album ‘Staring At Mountains’ in 2022 and in May 2024 he followed it up with ‘Littoral Zone’, a new solo album produced by multiple Scottish Album Of The Year Award nominated composer and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Wasylyk.
The album is a heavily lyrical collection of warped indie-folk ballads inspired by Adam’s relocation to the coast. The album title is a term associated with shorelines but also a nod to a style of direct, literary observations about the people, landscapes and states of mind Adam has discovered since moving there. The lyrics cover themes of nature, politics, aging, love and death and are surrounded by Andrew’s deft production featuring luscious string ensembles and brass.
Adam has a track record of playing at festivals and venues across the country such as Celtic Connections, Belladrum, The Edinburgh Fringe, and Green Man. His reputation as an engaging, witty, storytelling performer was further cemented by his role in ‘The Isle of Love’, a country-wide touring theatre show inspired by his songs.
His music has received regular airplay on BBC Radio Scotland and BBC 6 Music as well as excellent press in newspapers such as The Herald and The Scotsman.
