allo allo what's going on here


allo darlin' s/t fortuna pop

For those of us who love sun this is the equivalent of a dream desert island. Blue skies and seas, glorious days and not a trouble in the world. Every time I listen to allo darlin I close my eyes and dream. Dream of a better place where we don't kill each other for food or pleasure.

I remember a time that seems like a world away. An era where there didn't seem to be any recession. ireland had come from a time when all your school mates left the country for work. It was adjusting to a life where people were now choosing to stay in the country. My memories of that time are one of looking to music for everything. It gave me politics, it gave me sense and it gave me Sarah records. Even mentioning the bands Talulah Gosh and Heavenly bring a nostalgic smile to my face. Allo Darlin' bring me back to that life.

This is the bands debut album and it reeks of intelligence. Beautiful songs that are talking to me, the listener. This is not a band that will spend it's time hiding backstage. They will be out there with us, speaking to us, listening to and communicating with us. What I'm trying to say to you is that I love this album, I love this band and I think if you have a hankering towards a pop tune you will too as you listen to music for all the right reasons

Sing along now
"We do it, because we love it, and I'm here, because I love you"
