Land Lovers - Confidants (album stream)

Land Lovers have notions on being a pop band. They certainly play melodic enough songs with snappy words and some foot-tapping beats. They come from the tail-end of 2008, where they are about to release debut lo-fi homespun album Romance Romance. They have arrived here in 2011 with another, glossier album, Confidants, some way towards completion.

They remind some folk of XTC, or Television, or Elvis Costello & the Attractions.


Released in Ireland on Popical Island on 30th September 2011.
Released by: popical_island
Release/catalogue number: PI-509
Release date: Sep 30, 2011;

One of the things they do, as founder members of the Popical Island collective, is to help with its various undertakings. Apropos of this, they had a song on the much-loved compilation Popical Island #1 last summer and band-member Padraig Cooney wrote The High Line, a Christmas single released recently by the collective. They played at Electric Picnic last year and claim it was “very good”.
