Hi Everyone,
Not a huge amount happening for release on Friday May 23rd but there are a few of note.
Universal have a new Echo and the Bunnymen record, debut from Sam Smith (well as far as I know tis a debut anyway,) some Scott Walker and Kiss Vinyl reissues.
Warner has the Neil Young covers album “a letter home” on CD and super fancy saucy pricey Vinyl boxy….(Neil and Jack need the cash, rumor has it they bought some land in Leitrim in the boom) ….attached is the info on it…
Warner also has an album by Grouplove (indie/rock/electronic kind of a crowd). It was top 10 in the states for quite a while when released there last fall (apologies).
Pias always have some great music and this week my two favorites are Teleman ( I hear some beach boys and some velvet underground in it, two listens to either single and I bet you be humming them) and secondly Alice Boman, who has the most beautiful haunting voice and whose lyrics are blissfully melancholy.
Essential has a new record by James and I have attached the Music on Vinyl releases for the end of May also.
Sony and Proper have nothing really of note out for next week (in my opinion)
Speaking of blissful melancholy, Mr. Mick Flannery will wake up tomorrow with his second number one album in Ireland (fair play to you Mick boy!) and the Music Zone corporation (!!!) would like to announce that Mick has agreed to do an appearance in the shop on Friday the 30th May at 4.30 p.m. ( fair play to you Mick boy again)
So if you are around that would be great, if not you might spread the word… I shall pester (that’s the norm anyway) with reminders next two weeks, no doubt.
Sin e for this week.
Thanks,
