Scottish Pagans.

The Spolkestra.

They're a punk-art-pop orchestra made up of 15 multi-instrumentalists from Edinburgh.

I know very little about the group itself because they're hard to "pigeon hole", according to the Shetland Times...their music is just as hard to pigeon hole when it comes to a genre. It's classical music with a dollop of rock, gypsy-punk with sweeping vocals, a complex mess of indie colour. 
Comparisons can be drawn with Beirut, Arcade Fire, Guillemots and Architecture in Helsinki.
