The eponymous debut from Dublin producer/songwriter David Balfe is full of savage joy, finds Johny Lamb
This eponymous album is the debut full-length effort from Dublin producer/songwriter David Balfe. A project that exists seemingly to articulate both personal grief and bereavement and broader strokes of the struggles of working-class life in Dublin. This is an exciting time for Irish artists, and they find they have much to write about, social, economic and political contexts being what they are. From the gorgeous beat-driven pop of Gemma Dunleavy to the sharp, often political wit of Kneecap, Irish popular music is finding an unfiltered favour outside of its immediate home, with no compromise in language, accent, reference or idiom.
