In the words of Finbarr Bermingham. Favourite albums of 2014, 25-11. East India Youth Total Strife Forever. Pop, psychedelia, prog and electronica all meet here, on an album which sounds more interesting the more I play it there’s just so much going on. I was intrigued to see William Doyle perform his material live and wasn’t disappointed when he proved to be one of the highlights of Body and Soul Festival in Ireland last summer. Highlight: Archie, Marry Me. Highlight: Fake Fur Coat. Owl John Owl John.

Lost Map’s Howlin’ Fling | Scrawls and Bawls
https://fbermingham.wordpress.com/2014/09/16/lost-maps-howlin-fling
In the words of Finbarr Bermingham. Lost Map’s Howlin’ Fling. ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE SKINNY. A pilgrimage: that’s what, looking back, a trip to Eigg feels like. Those who made it were seeking fresh air and good music. They left with their lungs full and their ears singing, the smell of campfire lingering on their hair and clothing, a place reserved in every heart for the wonderful Isle of Eigg. Amidon returned for a set in the Marquee on Friday evening and, naturally, was joined by his wife Beth Ort...

https://fbermingham.wordpress.com/2014/12/30/trans-musicales-2014-rennes-4-7-december
In the words of Finbarr Bermingham. Trans Musicales 2014, Rennes 4-7 December. PUBLISHED IN THE SKINNY ON 19 DECEMBER 2014. Sheldrake professes to play 30 instruments and is an adept Mongolian throat singer. His lyrics are obscure and fun, his tunes poppy and full of hooks. One wonders whether he could ever have performed to more than a few hundred people before and yet, here he is, with thousands of tipsy French revellers as putty in his hand. And while the festival is best considered as a whole, there ...

In the words of Finbarr Bermingham. Monthly Archives: August 2012. Truck 15: the DiS review. Tim Minchin by Solange Moreira Yeoell. But it wasn’t all bad. In fact, it was mostly very good: starting with the aforementioned ‘Oxford indie-pop outfit’, Kill Murray. Former Magic Number Michele Stodart. When is it over? She asks mid-song, clairvoyantly. If nothing more, Stodart showed that if you strip a Volvo of its shell and trimmings and leave the engine running, it indeed remains a Volvo. Many regulars ons...
