“I find it hard to breathe”
Irish gent Damien Rice is a talented individual. Due to artistic differences with their record label, Damien left his “next-big-thing” band, Juniper, in the late nineties. He fled to Tuscanny and busked the streets of Europe for a year. Finally - with his mind settled once more - it was back to Dublin where he began penning the songs that would become “O”. I fell in love with “O” almost two years ago. Rice’s intensely personal record has been lauded as mesmerising, absorbing, adventurous and emotional.
Well “B-sides” - his latest offering - is all that, and more.
Even more personal this time round, Rice lets us deeper still into his soul. This journey is sordid and beautiful at the same time - but always breath-taking. The incredibly complementary vocal and chello talents of Lisa Hannigan are featured on this disc too. “Moody Mooday” and “Woman Like a Man” stand out as brilliant, on an album that is just exceptional.
Get hold of this.
Wow sounds incredible! Where you did find this music treasure dear sir? Never heard of him before.
