The Mighty Stef - 100 Midnights

100 Midnights is the second album from Dubliner Stefan Murphy, following on from his debut release Sins Of Sainte Catherine. A diverse and dramatic collection of multi-genre songs, well arranged and luxuriantly crafted, the record calls to mind the likes of Arcade Fire and Nick Cave, but is also startingly original, blending country songs with sea shanties and more sombre tracks. It also features excellent duets, with vocal help from none other than Mr Shane MacGowan, and former Pogue Cait O’Riordain.
