SINGLE AVAILABLE SOON plus NEW ALBUM REVIEW!!

Hi all!!

Just a quick-soup of an update to let you know that due to an administritive error (?) at i-tunes our download link to the new single ‘Take me away’ has been delayed.

So we’re making the decision of holding back the release date until the link becomes live though you can still buy ‘physical’ copies from the 1969 Records shop.

Here’s one of the VERY first reviews of the album done by Dan Hegarty for new Irish music magazine ‘The State’.

PUGWASH – 11 Modern Antiquities

There’s a lot of attention given to what’s become known as the “difficult second album”. In reality, things don’t get any easier with the third, or in Pugwash’s case, the fourth. Following 2005’s JOLLITY was a big undertaking, yet Thomas Walsh has made it sound like one he has relished. In fact, 11 MODERN ANTIQUITIES is an album that has such an array of qualities, that it’s easy to overlook some of them.

The single TAKE ME AWAY opens proceedings, featuring a bassline that almost steals the limelight all to itself. As you move deeper into the album, it evokes images of many of Pugwash’s heroes and influences, a number of whom are guests and co-writers (XTC’s Dave Gregory and Andy Partridge, Jason Falkner and Michael Penn, to name but four).

The manner in which the songs are delivered is truly remarkable. IT’S SO FINE and LANDSDOWNE VALLEY draw your mind back to decades past, and would sit perfectly well with the best that those years had to offer. Forgive STATE for using the “O” word, but if Noel Gallagher wrote songs like these, he might manage to drag Oasis from the creative doldrums that they’ve been inhabiting for the past decade.

The point cant be made any other way, 11 MODERN ANTIQUITIES is a triumph.

Dan Hegarty : The State Magazine

Great stuff we think you’ll agree!! By the way this very web-site will be updated shortly to incorporate all the new artwork for the release of the album so we look forward to hearing your thoughts on that (We’ve had a sneak peek and it looks FAB!!), so keep checking in, checking out!!

Why be shy when you can kick the can and shout…..
