Review: The combination of former Microdisney/Fatima Mansions singer Cathal Coughlan - one of the sharpest lyrical minds the alternative scene has ever produced - and fellow Irishman Jacknife Lee, former cult beat hero turned super producer and co-writer to the likes of Taylor Swift, U2 and Peter Buck, is an incendiary one. Given maximum space to resonate by the sparse but detailed electronic productions, Coughlan paints worlds of reality and fantasy mixed up, as memory so often is, so poignant as a result. Beats arrive courtesy of the unmissable 'Sex Bunting' and 'Mister Imperator', but whether the soundscapes are lively or luxuriating in the background, the concoction is heady and hard to resist.
