The Spook of The Thirteenth Lock – The Brutal Here And Now (Part 1)

Of course the beauty of Dublin’s The Spook of The Thirteeth Lock is that they somehow utterly appeal to both the traditional and foraging-for-new-music people sets. I choose to say ‘sets‘ for that is the type of foot activity that I tend to adopt on hearing their rangy banjo and intrepid vocals, bound together in the style of a schoolbus full of children set loose on a field of naturally growing smarties. It’s as joyful as that, as pushing the boat out as a bearded posse of planxty’s, and yet they remain entrenched underground. An LP called ‘The Brutal Here And Now’, out in a few days, will hopefully render them obligatory for a much wider audience. KD
