Bummer.

Its shit, but Im sure they have good reason.

Did anyone check out Ian's solo album?

We did a little feature on it here:

Looking forward to seeing them at Supersonic in Birmingham (UK) this weekend. New to them but can sense that live they hit twice as hard

This is a shoo-in for the Mercury Prize tonight.

oh well, nice try

this album is so fucking good

it's certainly a "me problem" but i always get an anachronistic vibe when i listen to folk music, especially with traditional compositions. the magic of this album is that it feels and sounds modern while playing the traditional tunes mostly straight. sure there's the drone so not completely straight, but the harmonies and song structure aren't all that different from the traditional interpretations

FYI the band have compiled the cd on the cover of the new Uncut - includes a load of great new Irish stuff including Jonny Dillon, Elaine Malone and Landless, among others. Inside the mag I also talk to them about the Mercurys, the good weirdos of Dublin and doom yoga.

hope the glue that they use for Uncut CD doesnt mean the CD accidently falls into my trolley at Sainsburys.....

Let's hope not and that honest dadrock consumers continue to help me feed my children.

"the young people" is one of the best songs i've ever heard. i wish it would go on forever

love this album

I really tried with these guys, but I guess I was expecting the ratio of drone to traditional Irish stuff to lean more heavily in the former.

I'm liking this a lot on first listen. Like a lot of neo-folk stuff I wish any of the new rhythm sections could play like Fairport's or Pentangle's. They just end up sounding like rock.

CYRM Vinyl album ends on a locked groove of noise and drone.

Scott Walker track would be YMMR levels of trouser flapping sound pressure when played live I'd imagine.

False Lankum also ends in a lock groove

Really liking the Trá Pháidín track "cé mo dhuine si​ú​l sa hi​-​vis" off this comp - Irish trad meets jazzy post-rock; threw it a nomination for the EOY poll.

Yes, heard this on EOY noms and it's great.

I've been listening to some of the tracks the False Lankum songs are based on and Gordon Bok's version of Clear Away In The Morning is so beautiful
