Heralded by The Sunday Times as the possessor of the most compelling rock voice this side of the Atlantic, Ewan MacFarlane’s extraordinary life in music is as much a testament to his vocal prowess as to his exceptional songwriting talent. His journey into the limelight began in the nineties with Apollo 440, where not only did his emotive vocals add a layer of human angst but his co-writing marked him as a force of creative energy in the music industry.

Beyond fronting Apollo 440, Ewan’s songwriting skills continued to flourish. He was the visionary writer behind The Grim Northern Social, a band that enjoyed a fervent cult following in Scotland in the early to mid-2000s. During lockdown, Ewan embarked to write a new song daily and share it on YouTube by evening. This prolific period culminated in the release of his 2021 debut album, ‘Always Everlong’, garnering widespread acclaim.

The success of the ‘MILK’ album was amplified by airplay on platforms like BBC Radio Scotland and accolades such as Album of the Month from The List and Sunday Times. With the release of his first acoustic album, ‘Dove’, in 2023, Ewan offered fans a novel way to engage with his songwriting prowess. Each of his 3 solo albums to date being nominated for The Scottish Album of the Year Awards. ‘White Feathers’, was released on May 17, 2024. Serving as a sequel to ‘Dove’, this album delivered a rich tapestry of songs that span the breadth of his life’s experiences. Traffic is delighted to have designed the albums and singles for all solo releases from Ewan MacFarlane from CD, to 12 inch vinyl to digital releases.
