MUMBLIN DEAF RO
Mumblin’ Deaf Ro is a Dublin-based songwriter who has released three albums to date. ‘Senor, My Friend . . .’ (2003) was called ‘a rare thing: a genuine cult classic’ (Irish Times) and ‘one of the lost classics of Irish indie pop (Mongrel). ‘The Herring and the Brine’ (2007) was voted one of the best Irish albums of the decade on Nialler9, AU and Cluas. ‘Dictionary Crimes’ is Ro’s third album. The album tries to explain what it’s like to be part of a family. The music centres around interlocking guitar parts with sensitive backing on bass and drums. The musicians who worked on the album are Donnchadh Hoey (Spook of the Thirteenth Lock, Iarla Ó’Lionáird), Conor Rapple (Steerage, Alien Items) and Joss Moorkens (Dudley Corporation, Si Schroeder). The album was recorded byJimmy Eadie (previous work with David Kitt, Jape, Crash Ensemble) and produced by contemporary composerEnda Bates. The album took Ro five years to write but was recorded more or less live in about four days.
