Format:Audio CD
It took me a few spins to get used to Dave Grundle's voice (sounds most like early Neil Young to me) but I was soon playing this several times a day. This is a beautiful, melodic and haunting record in which the frustrations and alienation of small town life are laid bare through some of the best and most evocative lyrics I have heard in years. They are a real pleasure to read. He delivers a sombre vision of an oppressive Irish upbringing, which is sometimes bleak (`Macosquin, Coleraine'; `Broken Homes') and sometimes tender, backed by sparse acoustic arrangements of guitar, bass, drums, piano and cello, with occasional Hammond organ. With the exception of drums and cello, these are all played by Dale. This is certainly a melancholy record, but it's moving rather than depressing. Alongside the longing to escape of `You and Me Against the World' there is the peacefulness and touching insight of `The Lockkeeper's Cottage' (listen out for the voice of Dale's father at the end) and `Dressed for Rain',but these are just some of my favoutites from an album which has no weak tracks at all. Marvellous stuff which, in a music world where dross like Damien Rice's `O' is heaped with praise, is almost certain to sink without trace, so buy it while you can. Then sit down and give this overlooked gem the undivided attention it deserves.
