The Hot Press Newsdesk, 18 Dec 2009

Damien Rice – whose first interview in three years can be perused in our decade-straddling monster of a 2010 annual – has recorded a duet with former Lir man David Hopkins.

The title-track from Hopkins’ There Are Debts album, it’s streaming now at myspace.com/davidhopkinsmusic and can be purchased from iTunes.

Originally from Dublin, David relocated several years ago to Los Angeles, but hopes to bring it all back home in the New Year.

Amber & Green

The former Lír man here goes it alone with ‘Amber & Green’. Sounding like Damien Rice in theme and vocal delivery, Hopkins elects to use more instruments, (including Wurlitzer and mellotron flute on ‘Paranoia Song’), so the overall effect makes it stand apart from the trite stripped-down-acoustic-guitar schtick. Take it that it’s another step up on that evolutionary ladder; intelligent, intimate and intoxicating, close your eyes and you might be in Doyle’s.
