The Irish Times. A cult figure in the Dublin music scene, he has released numerous critically acclaimed singles before retreating inwards. But now an album bursting full of Hannas morose charm and sardonic wit. Poetically, the studio where the album was recorded, Bow Lane, was knocked down a month after the albums completion. Job done in timely fashion. The album, produced by Daniel Fox of Girl Band is searingly honest but for those familiar with Hannas previous singles, that will come as no surprise. Hannas songwriting has always has always sat somewhere between awkwardness and charm, that is something producer Daniel Fok wanted to convey through the production of the record. The key was to retain the anarchic nature of the songs while making them sound as they were always intended: rich and lavish. The result is an album that recalls the likes of Jarvis Cocker and Scott Walker - dark humour and vulnerability - accompanied by Phil Spector-like arrangements. Previous single Bad Boys, an infectiously catchy song featuring a trumpet line recorded in just ten minutes, as Hanna explains They charged by the hour and we wanted him in and out as quickly as possible. New single Toulouse The Kisser is upbeat and pulsating, highlighting Hannas variety of vocal delivery as well as subject matter. Paddy Hanna has an authenticity other musicians strive towards for years. That realness, that melancholy, that dry sense of humour are all in abundance on this album.
