Boa Morte

Wait for the phrase that pays....

About Me

What some others have said..... Uncut - "Cork quartet in spellbinding debut...Occasionally a record comes along that's so intimate and immediate you want to disconect the phone, get under the duvet and forget the outside world. " Mojo - "By the time you've got the full measure of their sombre elegance, the band are confirmed masters of the idiom." Irish Times - "Distilling pure gold from ennui and pathos and creating a gorgeously arranged, intelligent and spacious collection of Americana melancholy, 'Soon it will come' wraps around you and tilts your head to the stars." Dubfly - "I'm listening to this Boa Morte album at the moment and it does things to you. It's simultaneously life-affirming and heart-wrenching; easily-grasped yet possessing infinite layers of complex melodic emotions. Sometimes 100 words is too little to accurately pin down such a great work." Zeitgeist - "This is a refreshingly unpretentious collection of beautifully orchestral songs, where gentle melodies accompany understated lyrics to give us what will no doubt be the Irish album of the year."
