We Cut Corners - new album and Róisín Dubh show
Thu, Apr 24, 2014
WE CUT Corners release their second album, Think Nothing, on the Delphi label, tomorrow, and play the Róisín Dubh that night at 9pm.
Think Nothing is the duo’s follow-up to their Choice Music Prize nominated debut Today I Realised I Could Go Home Backwards, and like that album, features mellow, highly melodic and intelligent songs (‘Maybe In The Future’, ‘Every Thief’) backed by sweeping strings - scored by respected contemporary Irish composer John Buckley - revealing the sophistication of We Cut Corners own writing.
