A \u003cbr\u003enew generation of Irish musicians are keen to acknowledge that musical legacy, while \u003cbr\u003ereimagining the songs within a contemporary context.\u003cbr\u003e Poor Creature's sound - particularly in the context of contemporary Irish folk - offers \u003cbr\u003esomething unique. There's the gauzy, underwater, almost psychedelic seams of 'Bury \u003cbr\u003eMe Not' and 'Adieu Lovely Erin'. 'All Smiles Tonight' and 'Hicks' Farewell' nod to the \u003cbr\u003einfluence of American folk\/bluegrass acts like Doc Watson and the Louvin Brothers. \u003cbr\u003eThese shifting sounds are made possible by producer John 'Spud' Murphy, who has \u003cbr\u003eproduced all of Lankum's albums, and worked with Junior Brother, OXN, Pretty Happy, \u003cbr\u003eYe Vagabonds as as well as the final two albums by The Jimmy Cake, with whom \u003cbr\u003eJohn has played for over 20 years.\u003cbr\u003e \"There's something about the everyday and the fantastical, being entangled, which I \u003cbr\u003ethink Irish music does so well.\" This also sums up All Smiles Tonight, moving through \u003cbr\u003estories and loss and history to create an otherworldly and timeless album for the \u003cbr\u003eages.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RIVER LEA RECORDINGS","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":53205874278727,"sku":"TRI-61284","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":53205874770247,"sku":"TRI-61285","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/68ae766a496c7fd7a54ad7ec942218b4_32de207e-6ee9-44da-a61a-d1f52c8b28cb.jpg?v=1769364030","url":"https:\/\/towerrecords.ie\/products\/poor-creature-all-smiles-tonight","provider":"Tower Records Dublin Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
