Conspiracy
Gorey man Stephen Hill takes a note from the book of Damo, singing in the accent we’ll fiercely defend but sometimes still cringe to hear. That said, it works well here. His attack on Mary Harney and the local Superquinn’s secret complicity in European colonialism couldn’t work in any other dialect anyway. ‘Conspiracy’ is a fantastically funny proselytisation, a howl to us to recognise this despicable and corrupt age, and after a few listens it becomes a compelling diatribe. “Microsoft develops it,” he yells “Are you listening to me?” We are now.
