about

This release is an extension of 'The House Of David’, my 2022 debut album. In the midst of a housing crisis, why not go ahead and build what you can, says I.

The first track 'Quietly' had to be dropped from the original A-side of the album, because it ran too long to be pressed to vinyl. I don’t think it belonged as part of the album, however. It was supposed to be released separately. It’s a song about first love and being madly in it. I wrote it when I was twenty-two. My youngest brother Gabriel features on bass vocals in the chorus, one of my favourite features of the arrangement.

'Tomorrow's Lunch - Reimagined', is an orchestral version of an album track, recorded with the RTE Concert Orchestra for a broadcast called ‘Sounds Of The Summer’ last year. The arrangements are by Áine Delaney. I love the contrast between this version of the song and the album version, which is the smallest, simplest track on the record. This version has all the bells and whistles and the kitchen sink too. Though broadcast in the summertime originally, I think the track has a distinctly Christmassy feel to it.

The third and final track, 'Golden Thing', is a song I wrote just after releasing the album. It felt like an addendum to the collection somehow. This version was recorded for the same broadcast at RTE as ‘Tomorrow’s Lunch- Reimagined’.
