Tom McRae announces Irish tour

He's bringing his "e-bay junk" with him!

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 20 Jan 2010

Tom McRae renews his Irish love affair in March when he swings by Cyprus Avenue, Cork (March 9); Dolan's, Limerick (10); Roisin Dubh, Galway (11); The Academy 2, Dublin (12); and Spring & Airbrake, Belfast (14).

Following that on February 19 is his new album, Alphabet Of Hurricanes, which includes lead single 'Please'.

Self-recorded by McRae, it features banjo, ukulele, mandolin, violin, an old piano and "other junk purchased on e-bay." Junk instruments or not, the record sounds great and should see him pressing for promotion to the Premiership of singer-songwriters.

All Maps Welcome

Rumours that the whispery-voiced McRae was going to rock out on this, his third album, have proved totally unfounded. All Maps Welcome boasts the same acoustic, string-soaked arrangements as his near-perfect eponymous debut and so-so sophomore release, Just Like Blood. Even a move to Los Angeles, for so many the home of rock ‘n’ roll, or the inclusion of some of Beck’s backing band haven’t caused McRae to let rip. That said, the sound throughout is remarkably full, considering the lack of fuzzed-up, distortion-driven wig-outs, and plenty of the songs manage to build up quite a head of righteous steam without the need for electric agonising.
