Here are our favourite homegrown records of the year.
File under: albums that should have been appreciated a hell of a lot more. But then again, Paddy Hanna is probably used to his ‘outsider’ status by now, considering that ‘Imagine I’m Hoping’ is his fourth solo album and he’s still not a global superstar. Never mind. The Dubliner exhibited both his skill as a songwriter and his penchant for quirky pop experimentalism on this brilliant album, particularly on songs like ‘New York Sidewalk’ and ‘Yoko Ono’.
They’re arguably the most celebrated Irish rock band out there right now , so surely Fontaines D.C. are due a fall from grace sometime soon? It won’t come in the wake of ‘Skinty Fia’, anyway; the Dublin band’s third record is as ferociously essential as anything they’ve done in the past, from the swoonsome ‘Roman Holiday’ to the agitated romance of ‘I Love You’ and and the drony reflection of ‘Big Shot’.
