Listening to the new The Smile album “Cutouts”. First listen but very promising.
The new Cure album is pretty top drawer.
The new Hope of the States song is also pretty good
Pixies have a new album out. It’s meant to be shit.
The pixies are shit.
New Damo Dempsey album.
My ratings: 3/5, 6/10, 62/100.
Overly long at 63 minutes / 16 songs.
A few songs have been done before on other albums…Louise (Catholic Church), Landlord in the Government (housing, politics) but he’s a protest singer & sometimes the reasons to protest persist.
It’s the ones where he shows his softer & poetic side that are the highlights.
Factory John is outstanding. The title track & Push Through The Blue too.
Hard to credit it’s 21 years since the greatest Irish album of all time, Seize The Day.
Probably are.
But they certainly were not.
I could never take to him
Tour next year to come.
His voice is in great nick for 65.
That’s a cracker
