Debut album from rising young Irish singer/songwriter probably best known to British audiences for her vocal performances on records by her fellow countryman
Damien Rice.
Hannigan's quirky, literate, acoustic folk-pop, rich with the backing of strings, brass, and glockenspiel, is more upbeat than
Rice's, and is comparable to the work of
Kathryn Williams and
Juliet Turner. This self-produced debut has garnered several award nominations and substantial praise both in her homeland and in the U.S.
