What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic.

Righty then... Adrian Crowley. A name mentioned many a time before on these pages (well maybe 2 or 3 times...) and you'll be terribly pleased to know he has a new album out courtesy of those lovely folks at Misplaced Music. He was to have a Whiskey single out but that all went tits up when you all stopped buying my singles (am not bitter......) so instead you'll have to whet yr whistle with this fine piece of melancholy. This is absolutely gorgeous. To say it's miserable is an understatement. It makes Radiohead and Pink Moon era Nick Drake sound like Abba. It's not a chirpy album at all. But the songs are so lovingly crafted and his voice is so emotive you can't help but fall in love with it while you're crying into your pre bedtime horlicks. He should be king....

What the label says:

We're very pleased to have released Adrian Crowley's third album A Northern Country' jointly with US label Ba–Da–Bing! and Irish label Catchy–Go–Go.

Adrian is a Dublin based self taught guitarist and singer. He sings gentle sorrowful disparate songs that have a deep emotional impact.

A Northern Country is a gorgeous album of heartbreak and loss. Gently resonating guitar and mournful cellos mix beautifully with Adrian's warm expressive voice bringing to mind the bleak autumnal melancholy of Red House Painters, Nick Drake with the folky edge of Alasdair Roberts and Will Oldham. This is a record for cold nights, loneliness and heartbreak.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
