“The album is a rerecording/reimagining of our debut album.
It's been a bit of a revelation to revisit these songs that were written in the early days of the band. We were getting to know each other as friends and musicians. Lots of laughter and enthusiasm surrounded the writing at a time that held a lot less responsibilities for all of us.
Donal, Nick and I had wanted to put the songs down so we could review what we were doing. Basically, we created an album of demos.
Very much a live recording with a few overdubs, we then created a cover and made copies for family and friends. Fifty copies were produced and are now something of a rarity.
The primitive nature of the recordings perhaps clouded our opinions of some of the songs. The songs were more sophisticated than we originally thought, and we were genuinely surprised by how strong they actually were. There was some naivety to some of my early lyrics, but they do seem to get the message across. It's been wonderful to look again at these songs, adding new lyrics and rearrangements. With the benefit of time and experience the songs now stand better with our best work.”
