I've been mostly listening to

Fionn Regan's "The End of History". This singer-songwriter from Wicklow constantly reminds me of Nick Drake. I'd like to think history will bestow him a similar status but none of the tragedy. I remember reading an article by Bob Dylan a few years ago where he described accomplished singer songwriters who don't get the recognition their talent deserves as "secret heroes"

The album is lyrically sophisticated, elegiac and uplifting in equal measure. Humorous, poignant and musically nuanced. It's also "catchy" :) Perfect thing for a lazy Saturday straining under the weight of all those damn adjectives!
