AT SWIM TWO BIRDS - Before You Left, V&S

The Flann O'Brien referencing At Swim Two Birds (aka Roger Quigley) returns with a wonderfully mournful collection of songs, getting underway with an almost David Sylvian-like acappella (the only other sound on the track being a grim, whistling wind) before embarking on the utterly marvellous 'I Must Be Losing You', an eight minute composition of supreme melancholy that eloquently articulates the emotional turbulence of a break-up: "Let the drink drown me/And let the smoke choke me/And let life run rings around me" intones Quigley in a moment of fatalistic abandon. It's heartbreaking in the most genuine and plaintively articulate fashion, perhaps in the vein of the DIY confessionals of East River Pipe.
