So far, this sounds like the soundtrack to a film in some alternate reality where the Coens and PT Anderson are the same entity and Irish. This is a very good thing.

Well this is just beautiful @Joe Mac . It feels ancient, like a ghost is singing to me, like it’s playing from a victrola in Victorian times and being ported through my stylus (of course, the fidelity is better). But it also feels now.

This is a really great Sunday night album!

Well less so now, these guys seem like they appeal to a similar fanbase as Manics, maybe less politically charged though.

 

[TrainFan73]

Yeah, sonically this is giving me Know Your Enemy vibes, which is not a bad thing at all.

 

[TrainFan73]

Holy fuck “Century After Century”

 

[TrainFan73]

I really enjoyed that. Two winners. Thanks @Joe Mac

Lisa O’Neill is in my parcel locker. Looking forward to giving it a listen tomorrow.

If I’m correct, I’m too lazy to dig them out to check, they’re both produced by Dave Eringa who worked pretty extensively with both bands.

Yes she covered a Dylan song, All The Tired Horses, for the show!

This is quite lovely. I don't think I have the proper heritage or education to fully appreciate the meaning of the lyrics, though it has a soothing sound.
Musically there is a fullness to the sound and all the instrumentation melds beautifully around the profound vocals.



P. S. My drink of choice is Empress Gin martini with a splash of lemon. I chose this for the floral explosion of the dandelion seeds on the cover.
