Ain – Sunday
In many ways the title of the song says it all. And ‘Sunday’ certainly deserves its moment in the moonlight, at the end of a hectic week when all that matters is that you slow to a standstill. Aindriú Conroy is from Kildare and you know that place has form when it comes to single men and their acoustic dilemmas. With such able competition it’s to Conroy’s credit that his music sounds so fresh when wrapped in such understated decoration. The voice and the acoustic accompaniment get a bad rap in Ireland and for good reason but when it’s done like this it becomes the most important sound around. Which means that Ain’s ‘Close To Cotton’ EP is a rich tapestry well worth clothing your ears in. KD
