healthyliving

Healthyliving is the project of long-time collaborators and friends Scott McLean (Ashenspire, Falloch), Stefan Pötzsch and Amaya López-C (Maud the moth). Having worked on various musical projects together for years, their artistic and personal connection coalesced organically and fuelled a small transnational collective across Scotland, Spain and Germany. Healthyliving emerges to honour this natural connection; something which is reflected in the simplicity, rawness and immediateness of their approach to songwriting. Artistically, the band draws from the beauty and horror of the mundane to create a kaleidoscopic and evocative musical world which commutes across genre borders.


Their first double A-side single `until/below was premiered via Echoes and Dust in 2021 and was soon after featured on BBC Radio Scotland/BBC Introducing (UK), RNE Radio3 (Spain) and Roadburn Festival's Essential Sounds playlist. This work also received positive reviews from numerous international outlets such as Flood Magazine (US), Veil Of Sound (DE) and was listed as one of the best releases of 2021 by the Spanish multimedia outlet Sin Bandera.


In 2022 the band was awarded funding from Creative Scotland to produce and record their first full-length; `Songs of Abundance, Psalms of Grief. The album was recorded at Chamber Studio, Edinburgh, engineered by Graeme Young (DVNE, Idlewild), produced and mixed by Scott McLean and mastered by Brad Boatright (The Armed, Sleep, Stranger Things OST). The album was released on April 7th in collaboration with La Rubia Producciones which coincided with a debut live performance at the prestigious Roadburn Festival on April 22nd. In summer they performed at the inaugural Core. Fest in Glasgow alongside Chat Pile, Deafheaven and Liturgy as well as touring in the UK, The Netherlands, Spain Germany and Denmark.


Throughout 2024 they have performed at numerous festivals across Europe including a main stage performance at Arc Tan Gent Festival, Rock In Bourlon(FR), Music Match Festival(DE), Summer Dying Loud (PL) as well as opening for Explosions In The Sky at their Glasgow concert.
