Album Notes

"His brand of melancholic elegance never fails to send shivers down the spine." -Melody Maker

"11 out of 12...As poetic a lyricist as the likes of Nick Drake or Jeff Buckley any day...Crowley leads the listener down Melancholy Lane." -Hot Press

"A major talent in our midst" -The Irish Times

"A satisfying and beautifully rendered collection of melancholia" -Alternative Press

Ireland's self-taught guitarist Adrian Crowley sings disparate songs with a deep, gentle voice and write touching ballads with a sensitive flair. His second record, and first domestic release, When You Are Here You Are Family, was recorded in Chicago with Steve Albini and Crowley's band, which consists of Kate Ellis on cello and Thomas Haugh on drums.

Fans of Coldplay, Red House Painters and Nick Drake will appreciate these stoic, dreary and bittersweet songs that gaze off in the distance with half-hearted resignation and partial, cynical hope. With expressive cello work, guitars, vocals and drums, and piano, these little lonely sentiments will burrow their way into your favor.

Excellent!

This is a great cd. This is the first time I'd heard of him and will be getting the other cd's. Tall Ships is one of those songs I could listen to all the time in my "blue mood".
