The charming songwriter returns with his sweetly slack new album 'Bottle It In' after last year's collaborative release 'Lotta Sea Lice' with Courtney Barnett. It turns out, he is not so slack after all, having recorded the new songs all across The United States in various sessions. The epic result is sonically charming with a smooth vibe and lo-fi appeal.
The occasion might be a tragic one but that doesn't make the music of the Irish pop/rock four piece less wonderful. And while everybody's talking about 'Zombie' and 'Dreams' I got a different story to tell about my connection to Dolores O'Riordan and her band.
