Irish act The Pale have just released latest album I Woke Up And I Was Gone, and are streaming it in full via Soundcloud.

The band, who released their debut Here’s One We Made Earlier a whopping 20 years ago, are fronted by songwriter Matthew Devereux. This new album were written over a three-year period while Devereux was living in Prague. Sounds idyllic to us!

The LP gets the thumbs-up from Hot Press - check out our review in the current issue (Euro 2012 cover). In the meantime, have a listen, below.
