SoulGirl Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Just out of interest, wondering what the level of awareness of our Damo is?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Ok, I listened to "O" again, and there are some decent tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulGirl Posted October 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 i've seen him live many times (and played with him a few) and the live experience is quite amazing! the album doesn't really compare but he's a great songwriter. i love older chests and cold water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 That's pretty cool GiselaMir! He has a certain sadness when he sings, somewhat wistful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 His music is slow... too slow. And not enough synths and keyboards in his music to make the slowness flow like Aqualung and Radiohead. If Folkish acoustics were my thang, I'd go with Travis (for upbeat) or Death In June (for downbeat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulGirl Posted October 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 yes, i get what you're saying. i don't listen to the album very often, probably for that reason, and i'm not mad about seeing play in big venues but intimate gigs can be quite an experience!

rkfan413 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 I've got his album "O". It's pretty awesome, there's just something to his music that sucks me in. I can't explain it. What other cd's does he have out?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambchop Flansburgh Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 You're right about the CD not touching the live experience. He's an amazing songwriter and singer, and he's got Lisa Hannigan as well. The voice of an angel. Not to mention Vyvian on cello! I have several live recordings, and last spring I got to see a show from backstage! My daughter & a friend were underage, but they had met and chatted with Lisa the night before, so she talked their road manager into letting them sit backstage. Such nice folks, too. I think it's unfortunate that more people don't appreciate Damien's stuff, but then again, it's fun to have him remain something of a "cult" artist here in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulGirl Posted November 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 rk he doesn't have any other releases out yet although his second album was ready at the same time as the first (apparently). he put all the heavier stuff on the second record but it's beenso long now i think he might just rework the whole lot. i was at his 1, 2, 3 attempts at launching the debut album which always failed because of problems with the printing - that unusual cover y'know. they're a wonderful bunch of people, i'm crazy about tomo, the drummer - he's cool! i'm delighted for them and their success but of course i wish they were still back in cork playing the lobby and letting us support them!

Foxy Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 My brother bought the 'O' album when it first came out, I love some of the songs on there, especially 'Cannonball', it's such an emotional song, it never fails to make me cry when I hear it.

SoulGirl Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 'cannonball' is gorgeous too! it's my boy's favourite apart from 'lonelily' which is a b-side somewhere. 'delicate' is gorgeous too - i love the line: 'we might make love in some sacred place the look on your face, it was delicate' gorgeous!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambchop Flansburgh Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 So now that Blower's Daughter was in the movie 'Closer' and it looks like that's going to get some Oscar nominations, will Damien get bigger in the U.S.? Stay tuned, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
