Damien Rice, got hold of a video "9 Crimes", my first exposure to his music. Quite a haunting and interesting song.
What is his other stuff like?
Ahh Squonk I can't believe you have only just discovered him. 'O' is an awesome album and worth getting immediately. 9 Crimes is also good but 'O' really set the bar high!
I remember watching Blowers Daughter with just him and an acoustic on 'Later with Jools# and I even said to my wife "who is this goon, here we go!" but by the end of the song I was transformed! Went to see him shortly after at Shepherds Bush Empire and it is still up there with the best gigs I have ever seen. Also had Rodrigo & Gabriela support him that night which was kind of odd but a great support act for guitarists!
Seen him again since but not quite the same impact!
