Album Review: Fionn Regan – 100 Acres of Sycamore

Feb 1, 9:00am There Goes the Fear
Album Review: Fionn Regan – 100 Acres of Sycamore Fionn Regan is so much more than your typical Irish troubadour. He's developed his music into a beautiful thing that swirls through your head and wraps around your body like a warm jumper you forgot you had. The layers of each song deepen and showcase the lyrical talent of this mop-headed singer/songwriter. The graceful guitar, poignant piano and understated orchestration gorgeously support Regan's poetic lyrics. While '100 Acres of Sycamore' harkens back to the more acoustic sound of his 2006 Mercury Prize nominated debut album 'The End of History', this album is [...]

Album Review: Fionn Regan – 100 Acres of Sycamore

Jan 30, 7:58am Consequence Of Sound
Fionn Regan 's 2006 debut, The End of History , netted the Irish artist acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic with nominations for both the Mercury and the Shortlist prizes. For his sophomore follow-up, The Shadow of an Empire , Regan shifted from a folksy singer-songwriter style to a more uptempo electric guitar sound. The transition away from the acoustic plucking incited many a comparison to Dylan's electric shift by fans and critics, albeit in a less divisive fashion, and felt like a deliberate tribute to the legend's history-making moment. So, where does Fionn Regan go from [...]

Listen: Fionn Regan - 'Dogwood Blossom'

Jan 18, 12:39pm Direct Current
"Dogwood Blossom" from Fionn Regan is yet another example why this Irish troubadour should hopefully break out of his "best kept secret" status here in the States. Taken from his forthcoming album 100 Acres of Sycamore , the song was recently featured in the extraordinary British TV series This Is England '88 . As we noted in our 100 Acres feature , "mellow and unpretentious, intelligent and never cloying, Regan channels Brit folk icons like Nick Drake but finds his own particular niche, thanks to literate, poetic [...]

Fionn Regan w/ The Staves: "North Star Lover"

Jan 4, 3:00pm TwentyFourBit
Fionn Regan w/ The Staves: "North Star Lover" Fionn Regan w/ The Staves: "North Star Lover" As much as I've been charmed by Fionn Regan's pastoral meanderings and the Staves' debut EP , pairing the latter's close, three-part harmonies with a 100 Acres of Sycamore ballad feels greater than the sum of its parts here. Either way, director Myles O'Reilly captured a fine collaborative moment in this intimate clip.

Sometimes I think I'm going mad!

Fionn Regan - Be Good Or Be Gone Nora : "The' agony I'm in since he left me has thrust away every rough thing he done, an' every unkind word he spoke; only th' blossoms that grew out of our lives are before me now; shakin' their colours before me face, an' breathin' their sweet scent on every thought springin' up in me mind, till, sometimes, Mrs Gogan, sometimes I think I'm going mad!"

Fionn Regan onder een boom: zo mooi

Fionn Regan - 100 Acres of Sycamore
De Britse singer/songwriter Fionn Regan leverde vorig jaar met 100 Acres of Synamore (Spotify link) een bijzonder mooi, bij grote vlagen Leonard Cohen-esque luisterplaatje af. Luister maar eens bovenstaande dromerige onder-een-boom versie van de op plaat met dramatische strijkers en donkere piano aanslagen bekleedde titeltrack.

TMOT's 5×5: Five albums and five songs that changed my life in 2011

The Strokes - Taken For A Fool
TMOT's top 5 albums of 2011, in no particular order 1. Bon Iver, Bon Iver Forget Emma, forget Kanye, forget the Grammys, forget the cabin in the woods. Jubilation is not apparent in Bon Iver, not at first. But how else could "Towers" be described? It's a gorgeous love song, and despite the occasionally unintelligible [...]

[folk] Fionn Regan – Dogwood Blossom

Dec 16, 2011, 1:28am Loudersoft
[folk] Fionn Regan – Dogwood Blossom I have fallen into the emotional rollercoaster of the holiday season tonight just as I was trying to climb aboard. Partially, I know it's because the holidays seem to change meaning as I get older and, partially, it's due to unrelated events of the night. I've just come from watching the final hour of This Is England '88 which is, hands down, one of the most emotionally gripping hours of television I have ever watched in my life. I don't want to give spoilers, but if you're not familiar [...]

Fionn Regan - 100 Acres of Sycamore

Fionn Regan - List of Distractions
Fionn Regan - "I'm a man...with a child's heart" sings the Mercury Award-nominated Irish songwriter on this third album of sophisticated, unpretentious neo-folk -- released this past summer in Europe, finally hitting the U.S....Regan's 2006 one-man show U.K. debut found its way to American shores via a deal with Lost Highway a year later, but he still remains pretty much an unknown on this side of the pond -- not helped by the fact that his fine second album Shadow of An Empire (2010) was never even released in the U.S. // Release : [...]

Fionn Regan: 100 Acres of Sycamore

Nov 17, 2011, 2:00am PopMatters
Fionn Regan 'Sow Mare Bitch Vixen'
In terms of Regan's own metaphors, he makes you want to set the forest ablaze one minute and then get lost in the comforting harvest of the farm across the way in the next. Irish singer songwriter Fionn Regan uses images from nature, dreams, and legends to weave his mythic tales of youthful consciousness in an endearing manner. He's charming without being cloying. He's a Celtic Josh Ritter, whose literate and melodic tunes intimately suggest what's going on in his head as he creatively fantasizes about the world in which we live. Regan doesn't believe in fairies or silly [...]

Video: Fionn Regan, "List of Distractions"

Fionn Regan - List of Distractions
Video: Fionn Regan, "List of Distractions" In which Fionn Regan plucks out another delicate tune off his third record, 100 Acres of Sycamore , in London's Hampstead Heath park, following September's Leonard Cohen/Bert Jansch-inspired title track with "List of Distractions," a subtly melodic cut that recalls his debut LP a bit (e.g. "Be Good or Be Gone"). Above, watch Regan set the steel-string aside for a classical guitar take filmed on the last day of summer.

Ben Howard – Every Kingdom

Ben Howard Live at the Enterprise , These Waters EP launch
I'm sorry to have been so lax in my blogging lately... work, school, concerts, life, blah blah blah. You get the idea. And I do have to admit that my absence is partially due to audiobooks becoming my work-time distraction of choice lately. But what brings me by the blog today is a young British [...]

Scott Matthews – What The Night Delivers

Nov 2, 2011, 11:48am Predictably Me
I've spent days trying to figure out what other artist this album reminds me of... not being able to place a musical vibe or draw a comparison is a frustration I don't often encounter, and I must say I'm not a fan of the feeling. At first I would have compared his voice to Kasper [...]

Setlist: Fionn Regan at the Rock Shop, 10/17/11

It was a spur-of-the-moment impulse that brought me to the Rock Shop on a Monday night to see Fionn Regan. At first it seemed like there were hardly more people than musical instruments in the room, but gradually a decent crowd turned up to hear his set. I didn't have my camera, but more or [...]

[CMJ] Photos & setlist: Fionn Regan at the Mercury Lounge, 10/18/11

Oct 22, 2011, 9:17pm Trust Me on This
Fionn Regan returned to CMJ 2011 and the Mercury Lounge on Tuesday night, four years after I first saw him there during CMJ 2007. After seeing Fionn on Monday night at the Rock Shop in Brooklyn, where he admitted he was less than fully-rested, I was curious to see how two consecutive sets would compare. [...]
