Hotpress review of 79Cortinaz at Bright New Sounds final 596 giorni fa
 


"Is it possible that there's an Irish Mercury Rev hidden away in deepest Carlow? Certainly 79Cortinaz' lead vocalist Gala Hutton's haunting vocal quivar bears an impressive likeness to that of Jonathan Donoghue. But then again, 79Cortinaz are not exactly hidden. They have an album out (Hopioki) and 2fms Dan Hegarty has been singing their praises. As it happens, Drive Me Home and Deirdre's Song are celestial lo-fi lullabies, probably better absorbed in a dark room with headphones on than in a short live blast at a showcase. But they are good - very good.

"It's a shame we only got to play three songs, we were just getting into it" laments bassist Cormac Strain arriving offstage. So were we. The words "Criminally Under-rated" and "Best Kept Secret" get bandied about alot. If there was a more apt phrase to apply to 79Cortinaz I'd use it.":

'GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT'

A little under for years ago, Carlow based quartet 79Cortinaz charmed the under-crackers offIrish music fans with theirfrenetic yet strangly funky single 'Deirdre's Song'. It gamely sailed up the charts, peaking at number 18, whetting our appetites for more. It might havetaken them a while to release debut alum, but it was worth the wait.
Hopioki first and foremost is a fun record and features 11 tracks of finely crafted, guitar oriented songs. There's a little Brian Wilson, Thrills, Arcade Fire and even some Primal Scream thrown in there, and every song sounds positively lush. The best track is 'She's Awake', which has a gorgeous, lilting guitar refrain and has the potential to be an anthem at the summer festivals this year. A close runner up is the beautifully heart-broken 'Electric Hymn' which showcases some stunning backing vocals from Annie Strain and is definately a song to fall in love with.
On the whole, Hopioki is a better than solid affair, with only one throwaway 'Raspberry Bon Bons' leaving a sour taste. But that's a minor gripe to make about an album that's achingly accomplished and, for the most part, exudes pure class.
