Aberfeldy are a Scottish indie pop band founded in Edinburgh in 2002. Formed by the singer-songwriter Riley Briggs, the band is named after the Scottish town where Riley's grandfather had a caravan. Known for their melodic, folk-influenced pop sound, they gained attention with their debut album, Young Forever (2004), which featured the single "Heliopolis by Night". The album was recorded using vintage analogue equipment, giving it a distinctive warm and organic sound.
They followed up with Do Whatever Turns You On (2006) and Somewhere to Jump From (2010), showcasing a blend of acoustic instrumentation, harmonies, and whimsical lyricism. Their style incorporates elements of folk, pop, and indie rock, earning them comparisons to artists such as Belle and Sebastian and The Magnetic Fields.
Although Aberfeldy have been less active in recent years, they continue to perform sporadically.
