    Just picked up their debut album "Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down" and listening to it right now, gotta say I like it alot. They Remind me of Belle & Sebastian and The Moody peaches.

    This is there latest single - 5 Years Time



    If you like this you should definitely check out the album.

    I'm pretty sure it's not.

    I got this album the other day, and I really like what I've heard of it. They're going to be big =]

    I really like the album. It's really nice and relaxing and is just great to listen to.

    Naturally. ;)

    The labum was alright, if a little bit corny.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 862 ✭✭✭cautioner


    Laura Marling is involved? :O

    I did not know this. Interesting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,460 ✭✭✭Orizio


    I don't remember hearing her, although maybe she is.

    I think its just a general fact that Laura Marling is vastly superior. ;)

    Saw them live in scotland at Hydro Connect. Thaught they were good but most people only stayed for there single then walked off. I liked them happy music

    Alison Curtis and Paul McCloon are giving the new album good airplay, I really like it.. frankly that 5 years time song really annoyed me but the new stuff is beautiful. They say it's coz his mott gave him the flick?

    Check the date of the post DigiGal - unfortunately the Whelan's gig was in 2008.

    I really liked the first album. If you get past '5 Years Time' there are some absolutely cracking songs on it like 'Give a Little Love' and '2 Atoms in a Molecule'

    Anyway, the second album is just gorgeous. Only listened to it a couple of times but I'm really liking what I'm hearing.

    Did anyone get to see them at Cois Fharraige last week?

    I saw them on Tuesday night in Utrecht, third time seeing them but this one blew the roof off. They were absolutely immense- one of the best gigs I've been at for years and I'm not one to exaggerate. They gave it absolutely everything and played probably every song they've ever written over a 2 hourish set.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    I've had the album for a couple of weeks now. It's a really well crafted piece of work. Absolutely gorgeous songs on it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73 ✭✭Rabbit Heart


    I wasnt too keen on the first album but the new one is beautiful.
    I didnt know what to expect from it but I love it.

    i'm not convinced about the second album, its alright, but i wouldn't call it a masterpiece

    mad though for laura marling, 19 years old and she has an album written completely about her

    I think i saw them last year. They have a good catalogue of songs (second album is brilliant) but the arrangement of the songs was poor when i sw them I would imagine they're taking a breather and will be back next year
