I've never even heard of this one. Is it good?

I think the guitar part sounds Lisa-esque. It's definitely not a typical Damo song. A little more lighthearted than usual.

I'm in love with the song, great lyrics and the music is very different from anything damien has done previously... more like a flow of lyrics, without any chorus, it reminds me a bit of "what if I'm wrong" in some way...

I hope he really starts playing this one and Stoic on regular shows, and maybe include them in the next album.

Remember that time he said in a Hotpress interview that he wants to make an album of songs that don't have any crescendo like the "normal Damien Rice song", but that when the song starts, it's all in there?
I like to think What Have You Done To Her Face is a song that might be on that album. And I love that kind of albums, with repetitive (and sometimes almost "boring") music but with great lyrics

something like the latest Alexi Murdoch album, you know.
I'd really love that from Damien.

- found that piece of interview, here it is:

“From a really silly, light-hearted, point of view, let’s say this is a normal Damien Rice song,” he says, pinching the napkin in at one end and widening it out at the other. “This is an audio waveform I’m going to make for you. If you look at an audio waveform for a normal Damien Rice song, it looks like that. It starts off really quietly, builds a little bit for the chorus, then really quiet, then there’s this big build up at the end (adjusts napkin accordingly). That’s the way it looks if you look at the audio files.”
He unfolds the napkin, shakes it, and holds it up in front of him – a perfect rectangle.
“I want to make a record of songs that look like that. That basically the moment they start, they’re there.”
