Album of the Week – 05/05/23

Some very fine new albums were released this week with the likes of Durand Jones (Wait Til I Get Over), The Album Leaf (Future Falling) and The Lemon Twigs (Everything Harmony).

If you’re feeling nostalgic for the 90s, I suggest you check out new albums from The Smashing Pumpkins (ATUM – Act 3) and one of Ireland’s finest THERAPY? (Hard Cold Fire).

For the album of the week, we decided on a visit to guitar heaven!

Album of the Week — Cian Nugent – She Brings Me Back To The Land Of The Living 

From our review which you can read here.

“The album manages to maintain a hazy, summery mood for its entire running time, like a classic album from days gone by. If there’s any justice, this album will give Cian Nugent a higher profile. One to soundtrack your summer”. – Killian Laher
