Glasgow’s Dialects release debut album Because Your Path Is Unlike Any Other
It's been over a year since TLE were last in touch with Scottish post rockers Dialects, when the group were busy taking apart the stage at Arctangent with some fierce as hell set of expansive instrumental.

Just before their set, guitarists Conor and Steven were kind enough to sit down with us in the ATG press area...
