an crann

Andy Waltzer A wonderful album of deeply atmospheric melodic instrumental music. The scope is varied but the sense of a scene (internal and external) being conjured is a constant. Damian is known for his presence in The Undertones and That Petrol Emotion but for those who recall his album (on Alan Mcgee's post Creation label Poptones) A Quiet Revolution, this is in that vein. Favorite track: Lament for Loughlinisland.

Steve Morrison This album is an absolute joy.
It's really pastoral and relaxing, perfect for a quiet evening. It makes me want the warmer summer evenings to be here soon. Favorite track: We Want The Wesleys.

about

The long-awaited third solo album from multi-instrumentalist Damian O’Neill (The Undertones, That Petrol Emotion, The Everlasting Yeah) is an exquisitely inventive collection of largely instrumental tracks, mixed by veteran producer Paul Tipler (Stereolab, Placebo, Julian Cope, House Of Love). The title “an crann” is Irish for “The Tree”, a symbol of growth and inspiration.

As Damian himself explains…"If someone listened to this record without knowing anything about me, they’d probably never guess that I started life in a punk band. I unashamedly wanted to present instrumental pieces that are emotional, evocative and personal and offer to the listener textures and layers of music that can be melodic, childlike and even melancholic at times. There’s obviously Irish folk traditional influences as well as French, Japanese, American and British. I’m playing virtually all the instruments myself, with added percussion on a couple of songs. It was recorded mainly at home over the last couple of years in the loft of our house on a laptop with an array of instruments such as electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin, bass, organ, vibraphone, toy marimba and glockenspiel, melodica, mouth organ, squeezebox, kalimba, bells and various percussion and human voices.”
