Review of Lisa Hannigan in Dundalk
Posted on 06. Aug, 2008 by admin in Damien News, Lisa News.
The Irish Times has a great review of Lisa’s recent performance at the Spirit Store in Dundalk, which you can read here. Thanks to TinyFox for letting us know about this. Here is an extract from the review:
Equal parts coquettish, sensual, adventurous and singular, the songs are quiet triumphs, subtly stippled by a terrific band with alt rock/pop reference points (we hear forgotten bits of Henry Cow and Slapp Happy, soundtrack snippets of Angelo Badalamenti and Yann Tiersen, and faraway-beach echoes of Brian Eno) and a very good tailor.
Hannigan handles all of the above with aplomb, grace and wit. She gets lost in the music occasionally, which is simply beautiful to see; the music occasionally gets lost in her, which is even more so.
