My Ok Hotel – Too Bright

Ready for a tune that’ll go well with the wind in your hair? Considering My Ok Hotel are from Kildare such an eventuality might not be possible in January unless you like your wind with single digit temperatures and oodles of rain. That’s why their myspace tag reads ‘We wished we lived in France’ I guess and who can blame them given the recent inclement snap. Christ, sometimes I sound so boring, can’t believe this blog has been reduced to casual observations about the recent spell of unsettled weather. Getting back to this promising band, they are giving the ‘When The Ship Sinks We Stick Together’ EP away free from their website and it should serve as a nice taster for future treats. ‘Too Bright’ inhabits Beat Radio territory with Shane Delahunty sounding like a younger Brian Sendrowitz (and did you hear the Arcade Fire’s ‘Wake Up’ at the start?). A thoroughly deserved 3 star rating all round. KD
