LISTEN: New album from Richie Egan

Richie Egan has taken us all unawares by rush-releasing a new album under the Black Abbott moniker.
“I always wanted to try to write and record an album in a day or so – this week I gave it a shot, it ended up taking me two days but it was a good bit of fun,” he explains. “There’s no quantising here – all played by hand. I got inspired after reading a Johnny Jewel (Chromatics mainman) interview but I’m a crappy drummer. Just wanted to get back to playfulness. No filter, just kept writing. It was also inspired by Throbbing Gristle, Men’s Recovery Project, Patrick Kelleher and other stuff. Here it is, I’m off out for a beer!”
