Reviews of:

Le Remusement Triste Et Lent De La Queve D'un Vieux Chien

This splendidly named Dublin group write abstract, lyrically oblique songs alternating passages of acoustic calm and moments of noisy intensity. Their principal influence is Will Oldham, who casts his scarecrow shadow on the gloomy "Inept Before Conception". But they manage to shake him and hit their own stride with " Sorrow swerves to skip her ", where obsessive love is bizarrely documented, exfoliated skin is fetishised as a lover's keepsake. Perversely promising.

THE WIRE - SEPTEMBER '98

This is the debut 6 track mini album from Dublin's Lo-Fi indie two piece. This is truly a fine piece of work for a debut release featuring six Palace/Smog influenced tunes. There are no signs of any typical landmark Dublin sounds that are so familiar now. 

These guys are not going to come and beat you up nor have they plans to take over the world and solve it's problems. This could quite easily stand up to the likes of Will Oldham and Smog, so it's up to you to make sure it does. Totally essential listening.
