The Hot Press Newsdesk, 01 Jun 2012

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.

1969 Records seems to be becoming a home for unappreciated Irish musical gems, and The Pale sound as though they’re revelling in working alongside Couse and Pugwash. Unlikely to bother the mainstream in a million years, ‘Elizabeth In Rags’ is still an old school Irish indie belter and proof that there’s life in some of the old dogs yet.
