About the album

When "Take Me to Church" broke out of Ireland in 2013, few people could have guessed that the lanky guy from County Wicklow with the gospel-sized voice was about to become one of the most enduring songwriters of his generation. His self-titled debut, made with producer Rob Kirwan, followed a year later and proved the single was no fluke: it's a rich, earthy mix of blues, soul and indie rock, shot through with gospel and folk.

"Take Me to Church" is the hymn everyone knows, but "Work Song" has become a wedding-playlist staple, "Someone New" and "From Eden" shimmer, and "Jackie and Wilson" swings like a lost '60s soul single. Ten years on it still sounds timeless, and this custard-coloured anniversary pressing is a lovely way to hear it.
