A small forgotten treasure

Still no response to this excellent first album of Dubliners group of brothers Dave and Paul Allen, released in 2005! Announced for spring 2011, the new album has been shifted ... We were nevertheless justified in placing great hopes on these worthy successors of the Undertones and Divine Comedy. HAL proposes indeed radiant music, sun and delicate under strong influence Beach Boys / XTC, as if once again Ireland served as a bridge between California sounds and English songs. It's very beautiful, wonderfully composed and performed with a wide variety of climates. Pop at its best.
