Calum MacLeod
a storm-battered town on the Outer Hebrides, Scotland
Calum MacLeod is the prison barber in a windswept town on the Outer Hebrides. After being struck by lightning, he developed a strange sensitivity to the scent of copper in the air, a harbinger for incoming storms, and an odd preoccupation with the subtle differences in tastes of well water. He carries these experiences into his music, using each mistake as a first note, much like each wrong snip in a haircut can reshape a style.
